44. So where's the romance? American Romanticism and Transcendentalism are not about romance, per se, but they do have something to do with love-the love of truth, the love of beauty, and the love of nature. Like romantic love, Romanticism is characterized by optimism, idealism, and intuition. Romanticism and Transcendentalism, however, direct all of this love and optimism not toward another person, but toward the natural world and the divine within ourselves. The ideals of "big R" Romanticism, as well as Transcendentalism, are woven into the fabric of the American psyche. We can see their effects in movies about people who retreat to nature to become closer to themselves or reassess their life's purpose. We see these themes played out in stories about rugged individualists. What is the central idea of the above passage?
