Ultra-Romanticism (in Portuguese, ''Ultrarromantismo'') was a Portuguese literary movement that took place during the second half of the 19th century and later arrived in Brazil. Aesthetically similar to (but not exactly the same as) the German- and British-originated Dark Romanticism, it was typified by a tendency to exaggerate, at times to a ridiculous degree, the norms and ideals of Romanticism, namely the value of subjectivity, individualism, amorous idealism, nature and the medieval world. The Ultra-Romantics generated literary works of highly contendable quality, some of them being considered as "romance of knife and earthenware bowl", given the succession of bloody crimes that they invariably described, which realists fiercely denounced. In Portugal, the first Ultra-Romantic piece ever written was the poem "O noivado do sepulcro" ("The tombstone engagement") by António Augusto Soares de Passos, while in Brazil the first major Ultra-Romantic works were the books ''Lira dos Vinte Anos'' (''Twenty-year-old Lyre'') and ''Noite na Taverna'' (''A Night at the Tavern'') by Álvares de Azevedo. In Brazil, it is called "the second phase of the Brazilian Romanticism", being preceded by the "Indianism" and succeeded by the "Condorism". ==General characteristics== *Creative liberty (the content is more important than the form; grammatical rules often ignored) *Free versification *Doubt, dualism *Constant repugnance, morbidness, suffering, pessimism, Satanism, masochism, cynicism, self-destruction *Denial of reality in favour of the world of dreams, fancy and imagination (escapism, evasion) *Adolescent disillusion *Idealization of love and women *Subjectivity, egocentricity *''Saudosismo'' (an untranslatable word meaning homesickness or longing) for childhood and the past *A preference for the nocturnal *Conscience of solitude *Death: total and definitive escape from life, an end to suffering; sarcasm, irony 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ultra-Romanticism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
