Romanticism was about seeing the world "through rose-colored glasses." The 18th century was about Enlightenment, scientific discoveries, etc. etc.
If you want a good definition of romanticism, look at some of the artwork of Eugene Delacroix and the compare that to the Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, which occurred during the mid- to late- 1700's was founded on the principles of logic and rationality. The leading philosophers of the era (including Ben Franklin, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Jefferson, and Toqueville) prescribed to a mathematical and logical approach to not only science and politics, but also mysticism and theology. Romanticism which got its start in the early 19th century, stressed more of a ethereal and relative mystical approach to emotion, freedom and individual imagination. Leading philosophers of the Romantic movement included Thoreau, Emerson, Coleridge, and Mary Shelley.

I think the biggest differential between the two would be from the industrial revolution, Romanticism as I know it seems to be a pinning for the more pre-industrial life style, and with Romanticism reaching its apex at the beginning of the Industrial revolution would be the major societal impact on it... does that make sense, I cant word it quite right...
