British Romanticism

British Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism, reacting against the Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment rationalism. Key figures like poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron celebrated personal experience and the beauty of nature. Romantics often explored themes of the sublime, the supernatural, and the power of imagination. This movement significantly influenced literature, art, and philosophy, promoting a deeper connection to the natural world and human emotion, shaping modern views on creativity and individuality.
