The Romantic Poets were a group of writers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries who emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism. Key figures included William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. They often reacted against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and sought inspiration from the beauty of the natural world and human experience. Their poetry frequently explored themes of love, beauty, and the sublime, celebrating the imagination and the human spirit. The Romantic Movement also influenced other art forms, including painting and music, leaving a lasting impact on literature and culture.
