Cambridge School of Romanticism

The Cambridge School of Romanticism was a 19th-century movement centered at the University of Cambridge, emphasizing the study of English literature and poetry during the Romantic period. It focused on exploring the emotional, imaginative, and individual aspects of Romantic writers like Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Byron. Scholars associated with this school analyzed how these authors expressed personal feelings, nature, and rebellion against classical conventions. They aimed to understand Romanticism as an intellectual and cultural shift, highlighting the importance of poetic inspiration and subjective experience in shaping modern literature.
