“The gentleman I am married to made love to me in rapture but it was the rapture of a Christian and a man of Honor, not a romantic hero or a whining coxcomb.”[22] Whether the charmer sinner it or saint it If folly grow romantick I must paint it.[23] The early French and German uses of the word romantic seem to derive from England. One important point is to be noted as to France. Before using the word _romantique_ the French used the word _romanesque_ in the sense of wild, unusual, adventurous--especially in matters of sentiment, and they have continued to employ _romanesque_ alongside _romantique_, which is now practically used only of the romantic school. A great deal of confusion is thus avoided into which we fall in English from having only the one word romantic, which must do duty for both _romantique_ and _romanesque_. An example of _romantique_ is found in French as early as 1675;[24] but the word owed its vogue practically to the anglomania that set in about the middle of the eighteenth century. The first very influential French example of the word is appropriately found in Rousseau in the Fifth Promenade (1777): “The shores of the Lake of Bienne are more wild and romantic than those of the Lake of Geneva.” The word _romantique_ was fashionable in France especially as applied to scenery from about the year 1785, but without any thought as yet of applying it to a literary school. In Germany the word _romantisch_ as an equivalent of the French _romanesque_ and modern German _romanhaft_, appears at the end of the seventeenth century and plainly as a borrowing from the French. Heidigger, a Swiss, used it several times in his “Mythoscopia romantica,”[25] an attack on romances and the wild and vain imaginings they engender. According to Heidigger the only resource against romanticism in this sense is religion. In Germany as in France the association of romantic with natural scenery comes from England, especially from the imitations and translations of Thomson’s “Seasons.”
