English Romanticism

English Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasizing emotion, nature, and individual experience. It arose as a reaction against the Industrial Revolution and the rationalism of the Enlightenment. Romantic writers and poets, such as William Wordsworth and Mary Shelley, celebrated beauty in the natural world, the power of imagination, and the importance of personal feelings. They often explored themes like the sublime, the supernatural, and the human connection to nature, fostering a deep appreciation for the complexities of life and emotion.
