छायावाद/प्रेममार्गी काव्यधारा

Non-PRO Hindi to English Art/Literary Education / Pedagogy
I am translating a list of Hindi literature subjects and would need help of the peers to understand the names of the subjects. I believe this is Romantic Poetry, but would like to confirm with the peers.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Ramesh Bhatt

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Chhayawaad I will prefer to keep it this way.. and the Phrase can be explained with context for the benefit of readers. As many of the English Phrases are from Non-English background.

Shadowism / Genre describing eternal power in romantic way.

If we want to translate छायावाद then it should be done in literary way because छायावाद is not mere romanticism, it describes the presence of eternal power in material and abstract virtues of earth. This era of छायावाद is the most prosper and powerful era of Hindi literature. We can't translate it in a single word.

Neo-romantic Hindi Poetry

Chhayavaad is the Golden period of Hindi Poetry from 1918-1937. Since it refers to the relatively modern era of romantic poets as compared to earlier stalwarts like Bhartendu and Mahavir Prasad Dwiwedi and of course to the ancient and the greatest romantic poet Kalidasa, I have used Neo-romantic instead of romantic. Also, though one could use the term "shadowism", I regard that as a mere literary translation of this period.
