Romanticism ! Artistic, literary or intellectual movement ?

Romanticism was also called the (romantic era). Many argue that this eraumma was Artistic, literary or intellectual but was it really? First to give you a brief overview of this time... Romanticism originated in the second half of the 18th century in Europe, and became dominate in reaction to the Industrial Revolution. Though It may be argued that Music, art and books or literature may have externalize Romanticism and though I agree to a certain extent. I believe that we can never really say what really embodied the era of romanticism. There may be journals and movies or recordings and even text books we werent there in that time. I believe that everyones can go on the same journey but the experience for all of us will be different. Shelley explained many things through her lens and created Frankenstein in the image she wanted to portray as she did with the monster but no matter how many people read this book we will all have a different interpretaion. Artistic, literary, Intellectual? Maybe , but I'm sure thats not all of it.
