👉 Nonromanticism is a philosophical and literary theory that posits that literature, art, and other forms of creative expression should not necessarily be romanticized or sentimentalized. It emphasizes the importance of realism in literature, rather than the idea of idealization or escapism. Nonromanticists argue that while some people may enjoy reading about romance and love stories, it is important to remember that this genre often reflects a more realistic portrayal of human emotions and experiences, rather than an escape from reality.
