Anti-Romanticism

[sherby]

Could someone possibly help me define the term Anti Romanticism? I have found many articles on Google referring to writings as being Anti-Romantic but none that tell me what it was about. (Im am studying Persuasion and why it would be seen as Anti Romantic.)
Many thanks

First look at Romanticism/ the romantic movement ; the change or prevalence in literary styles at the time. Essays that may help you grasp the concept and contexts :

Then when that makes sense, look at how Persuasion is in CONTRAST to that eg in terms of social and cultural ideals or individual feelings and behaviour of characters (If it is, I don't know!!)
