Quote: "Finally, it should be noted that the revolutionary energy underlying the Romantic Movement affected not just literature, but all of the arts--from music (consider the rise of Romantic opera) to painting, from sculpture to architecture. Its reach was also geographically significant, spreading as it did eastward to Russia, and westward to America. For example, in America, the great landscape painters, particularly those of the "Hudson River School," and the Utopian social colonies that thrived in the 19th century, are manifestations of the Romantic spirit on this side of the Atlantic."
Paraphrase: The Romantic Movement did not only affect literature, but all of the arts from music (such as the rise of Romantic opera) to painting, and from sculpture to architecture. It spread eastward to Russia and westward to America.
