Romantic Poetry

Romantic poetry is a literary movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasizing emotion, individualism, and a deep appreciation for nature. It reacted against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution, focusing instead on personal feelings, imagination, and the sublime beauty of the natural world. Poets like William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and John Keats explored themes of love, loss, and the human experience, often drawing inspiration from landscapes, folklore, and the power of the human spirit. Romantic poetry celebrated the unique perspective of the individual and aimed to evoke emotional responses in readers.
