This cultural movement became popular in Western Europe during the late eighteenth century and was expressed primarily through art and literature. However, the major intellectual movement which preceded Romanticism was the Enlightenment, during which philosophers emphasised rationalism in the pursuit of knowledge. Thus, Romanticism has often been posed as an opposite reaction to the Enlightenment.</p> <p>Through using <em><a href="https://www.gale.com/intl/primary-sources" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Gale Primary Sources</a>, </em>I have gained access to a number of notable works from the Romantic period, from paintings to poems, as well as the opportunity to explore how these works have been perceived since their initial creation. Primary sources highlight how Romanticism was a dynamic and varied movement. Romanticism responded not only to the Enlightenment, but the many political and social developments, such as revolution and industrialization, which had created a backdrop for the turn of the nineteenth century. </p> <p class="read-more-container"><a title="Exploring the Inspiration for Romanticism: Was it a Counter-Enlightenment?

In the first few weeks of university the idea that we should use them was constantly drummed into me. I, like most other students I know, immediately ignored this advice, and ploughed into the swelling lists of secondary sources. Primary sources seemed like a distraction from the stress of churning out an essay, and the few students who did use them seemed like god-like beings who’d mastered pomodoro timers and bullet journaling in the pram.</p> <p>Over the course of my first year, however, I realised that they were exactly the opposite. Primary sources are the stressed student’s best friend. Reading what real people thought, how they talked, and what they felt, can make the trickiest topics easier. And more than that, they can be fun. The archives in <em><a href="https://www.gale.com/intl/primary-sources" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gale Primary Sources</a></em> made using primary sources so much less terrifying as a student for me.

Jade Burnett, Gale Ambassador at the University of Sheffield│</strong></p> <p>Throughout this academic year I have been working on an MA dissertation on the marriages of members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). In working on this dissertation, I have tried to piece together the personal lives of people who existed largely in the political sphere. While this work is hugely interesting and deeply fulfilling academically, it can also be very tricky, with the writing of personal histories bringing up a range of difficulties surrounding how academics can seek to sensitively piece together the intimate lives of individuals. I hope that this blog post can offer readers some tips and tricks on how to approach writing these histories. </p> <p class="read-more-container"><a title="Writing Sensitive Personal Histories"

I visited Mangalore in the state of Karnataka, as well as Kerala with its famous backwaters and cool green tea plantations in old hill stations. The British planted pine forests there and hid from the sun; in Mangalore old warehouses built along the river by the Portuguese for tile manufacture were visible from the high rise buildings around them. And everywhere – at busy roundabouts, by old government buildings and in front of smart new colleges – were statues and busts of solemn figures who I could not identify. The names Gandhi, Nehru and Modi are essentially the limit of my knowledge of modern India.</p> <p class="read-more-container"><a title="Decolonization: Politics and Independence in Former Colonial and Commonwealth Territories" class="read-more content-read-more" href="https://review.gale.com/2023/04/11/decolonization-politics-and-independence-in-former-colonial-and-commonwealth-territories/#more-14256" aria-label="Read more about Decolonization: Politics and Independence in Former Colonial and Commonwealth Territories">Read more</a></p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta" aria-label="Entry meta"> <span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://review.gale.com/category/topic-categories/current-issues/" rel="category tag">Current Issues</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/category/news-and-teams/editorial/" rel="category tag">Gale Publishers</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/category/topic-categories/society-and-politics/" rel="category tag">Society and Politics</a></span> <span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/activism/" rel="tag">activism</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/africa/" rel="tag">Africa</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/asia/" rel="tag">ASIA</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/black-history/" rel="tag">Black History</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/british-studies/" rel="tag">British Studies</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/civil-rights/" rel="tag">Civil Rights</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/clem-delany/" rel="tag">Clem Delany</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/colonialism/" rel="tag">Colonialism</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/cultural-studies/" rel="tag">Cultural Studies</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/current-issues/" rel="tag">current issues</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/decolonising-the-curriculum/" rel="tag">decolonising the curriculum</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/decolonization/" rel="tag">Decolonization</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/decolonization-selection/" rel="tag">Decolonization selection</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/gale-news/" rel="tag">Gale News</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/government/" rel="tag">government</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/identity/" rel="tag">Identity</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/indigenous-groups/" rel="tag">Indigenous Groups</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/politics/" rel="tag">politics</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/protest/" rel="tag">protest</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/publishing-team/" rel="tag">Publishing team</a>, <a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/twentieth-century-history/" rel="tag">twentieth-century history</a></span> </footer> </div> </article> <nav id="nav-below" class="paging-navigation" aria-label="Archive Page"> <div class="nav-previous"> <span class="prev" title="Previous"><a href="https://review.gale.com/tag/british-studies/page/2/" >Older posts</a></span> </div> <div class="nav-links"><span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page</span>1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://review.gale.com/tag/british-studies/page/2/"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page</span>2</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://review.gale.com/tag/british-studies/page/2/">Next <span aria-hidden="true">→</span></a></div> </nav> </main> </div> <div class="widget-area sidebar is-right-sidebar grid-25 tablet-grid-25 grid-parent" id="right-sidebar"> <div class="inside-right-sidebar"> <aside id="email-subscribers-form-8" class="widget inner-padding widget_email-subscribers-form"><h2 class="widget-title"> Subscribe: </h2><div class="emaillist" id="es_form_f1-n1"><form action="/tag/british-studies/#es_form_f1-n1" method="post" class="es_subscription_form es_shortcode_form es_ajax_subscription_form" id="es_subscription_form_67ba9f0720393" data-source="ig-es" data-form-id="1"><div class="es_caption">Never miss a post!
