Scottish Romanticism was a cultural movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries that emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism. It emerged as a response to the Enlightenment's focus on reason and rationality. Key figures included poets like Robert Burns and Walter Scott, who celebrated Scotland's landscapes, folklore, and history in their works. This movement also influenced art and philosophy, promoting a sense of national identity and pride. The themes of nature, heroism, and the sublime were prevalent, reflecting a deep connection to the Scottish landscape and its cultural heritage. Scottish Romanticism played a crucial role in shaping modern Scottish literature and identity.
