Content: The Romanticists asserted the rights of feelings and imagination. According to them, feeling was more important than reason. Novalis wrote, “The heart is the key to the world.” Goethe maintained that “feeling is everything.” Madame de Stael asserted that feeling far surpasses reason as a means of arriving at the truth. The view of Lamartine is that man is really himself only “under the stress of powerful feeling.” Man must discard artificial standards in the expression of feelings and follow the prompting of the heart. Imagination must be free from its shackles. The romanticists believed that there should be no check on genius and hence men must follow their imagination. If a work of literature or art shows the sovereignty of reason, with measure, harmony and sympathy in representation, it may be called classical.
