Nationalism played a major role in the Romantic Movement. It became a central theme and a political philosophy of the movement. The development of national languages and folklore, and the importance of customs and traditions were some of the key nationalistic concerns in the Romantic Movement. The portrayal of heroic figures in romanticism is also influenced by the feelings of nationalism. Nationalism also inspired the collection of folklore; folklore was supposed to reflect the local culture, values, and history. Brother Grimm’s’ collection of fairy tales<span> is also a result of this influence.</span>
