CIRI-CIRI• Emosional- apprehension, horror dan terror, awe• Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative,

the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.• Characteristic attitudes of Romanticism were the following: a deepened appreciation of

the beauties of nature; a general exaltation of emotion over reason and of the senses over intellect; a turning in upon the self and a heightened examination of human personality and its moods and mental potentialities; a preoccupation with the genius, the hero, and the exceptional figure in general, and a focus on his passions and inner struggles; a new view of the artist as a supremely individual creator, whose creative spirit is more important than strict adherence to formal rules and traditional procedures
