Renaissance of Romanticism During the early stages of development of the Consciousness Scales, our theoretical considerations included a hypothesis that the contemporary revival of romanticism parallels the classical period of European romanticism. Contemporary philosophers and social scientists (e.g., Cotgrove, Horton, Finnegan, Greisman) have repeatedly suggested this hypothesis. Classical European romanticism as expressed in literature, music, paintings and sculptures was more than a style, a ‘manifestation of feeling,’ to use Charles Baudelaire’s expression. Starting in the 1750s, it gained wide influence at the turn of the century and lasted until about the 1850s. The romantic period is often divided into the early and the late periods, the great divide between them being the Napoleonic wars. Edmund Burke's Philosophical Inquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful (1757) was one of the early expressions of the romantic tenets expanded, among others, in the writings of Macpherson, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron and Goethe.
