**//__ Historical and Modern Romanticism __//** ** Romanticism is the movement from the late 18th to the mid-19th century characterized by a rejection of order, rationality and harmony. Romanticism differs greatly from its neoclassic predecessor. Several fields including literature, art, and architecture were influenced by the emphasis that Romanticism placed on emotion, spontaneity, imagination, and the transcendental. **
 * Today Romanticism lives on in media, music, art, and of course in literature. The core elements of innocence, imagination, the individual, the hero, and the exotic are used constantly in representations to the public. Books like //Harry Potter// and //Lord of the Rings// draw from the fantastic and form ties with nature. Even popular movies like Spiderman or Batman rely on imaginative and occult happenings to create spectacular heroes in an otherwise ordinary world, who stand for simple values and to serve man. **
