Explanation:

In Germany, the concept towards Romanticism had first been founded during the mid 80s. It is a response to the contradictions of rationalism. They don't trust in rationalist supremacy. Of the Transcendentalists, the most prominent was Ralph Waldo Emerson. This concept stressed empathy, a close connection with nature, and a sense of faith. They felt that it ignored mankind's crucial aspects like imagination, nature and intuition. Romantic poets also sought to represent the divine beauty of an element, character or situation which causes darker undertones such as excitement or terror.
