Question

How did romanticism seek to develop a particular form of nationalist sentiment during 18th century?explain?

Answer 1

Culture played an important role in creating the idea of the nation: art and poetry, stories and music helped express and shape nationalist feelings.
Other Romantics such as the German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) claimed that true German culture was to be discovered among the common people – das volk. It was through folk songs, folk poetry and folk dances that the true spirit of the nation (volksgeist) was popularised.
Karol Kurpinski, for example, celebrated the national struggle through his operas and music, turning folk dances like the polonaise and mazurka into nationalist symbols. Language too played an important role in developing nationalist sentiments.

Answer 2

Answer:

Romanticism was a cultural movement which aimed at developing a certain kind of national sentiment. Poet and artists advocated this movement by sharing their cultural heritage for the nation and criticised science. They were moved by emotions, mystic feelings and an intuition. Few of the German poets believed that the common people could be reached by German culture and used folk dances, songs, and folk poetry and means to communicate their sentiment.
