Romantic writers were a diverse group of poets and novelists from the late 18th to early 19th centuries who emphasized emotional and creative expression, individualism, and a deep connection to nature. Some key figures include William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Jane Austen, and Mary Shelley. Their works often focused on themes of love, nature, imagination, and the supernatural.
Romantic poets are the poets that wrote poems during the Romantic Period (Late 1790's-1830's). Generally the writers of this time had a fascination with youth and innocence. This was the time when people started to question authority and tried to find better ways to live out their daily lives. Industrialization also played a role in the Romantic period because it called for people to adapt to the rapid changes that were occurring. Romantic poets, writers, and artists were typically more drawn to nature as a result of the grimy, dirty industrializing cities they lived in. They embraced imagination and naturalness. Romantic poetry often refers to things that appeal to the emotions of the audience and is more simplistic. They believed in individual liberty.
