Romantic poets

Romantic poets were writers from the late 18th to early 19th centuries who emphasized emotion, imagination, and individual experience over rationalism. They celebrated nature, beauty, and personal feelings, often exploring themes like freedom, heroism, and the sublime. Notable figures include William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and John Keats. Their work marked a shift from classical norms, focusing on intuition and the power of nature to inspire and evoke deep emotional responses. Romantic poets sought to connect deeply with human nature and the natural world, influencing literature and art profoundly.
