The Romantic Movement was a European phenomenon; a radically subjective approach to art, life, society and politics that placed a new emphasis on personal freedom, individualism and imagination. It was the breaking down of barriers between art and life, prose and poetry, music and words, words and images. This illuminating study focuses on the interdependence of literature and the visual arts in France from 1800-1840, when the symbiotic relationship between writers and painters was at its closest.
