Romantic poets
The term "Romantic poets" refers to a group of writers from the late 18th to mid-19th century who emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism in their work. Key figures include William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. They often reacted against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and sought inspiration from the beauty of the natural world and human experience.
Romantic poetry is characterized by its focus on personal feelings and the sublime aspects of nature. Poets used vivid imagery and expressive language to convey deep emotions and explore themes such as love, loss, and the passage of time. Their works laid the foundation for modern poetry and continue to influence literature today.
