11. • In order to fully address the Romantic period and its effect, it
is essential to first identify its tie with the French Revolution.
The French Revolution was all about the people vs. the
monarchy.

viewed as a domino effect

14. • In response, the romantic vision had taken forms other than political
—
developing apace.

poetry
should ewpress in genuine language experience as filtered through

fully
realized in his great autobiographical poem, "The Prelude" (1805—50).

15. • In Prarnetheus inbound(1820), Percy Bysshe combines
soaring
lyricism with an apocalyptic political vision producing extreme
even. His
wife, I'4ary Wollstonecraft , wrote the greatest of the
Gothic
romances, i“rankenstein (1818) — which is widely mentioned even in this
day and era.
• Lord Byron designed his romantic lyric with a rationalist irony and was
also often associated with his own characters — particularly the
rebellious,
irreverent, erotically inclined Don Juan.
• Moreover
, this era also included poets such as Robert SOUthev—best-
remembered today for his story ’Goldilocks and the Three Bears"-
Leigh , Thomas , and Walter Savage .

17. • Germany is where some of the earliest examples of
Romantic literature emerged. In fact, the most important
literary figure of the period was Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe. Goethe used myth and local as subjects for his
poetry and helped inspire a sense of German
nationalism in the decades before a unified Germany.

20. • Although there are many styles and genres
of
the Romantic Period, the ones that I found
were very prominent while researching
were
Individualism, Nature and Imagination.
The
poets of this era often used these
throughout their
writing.

21. • individualism — the concern focused on the indd/iduaI rather
than
society. Romantics see the individual as important and unique.
• Nature — The Romantics are often called nature poets. The Romantic
praise experiences of the beauty and majesty of nature.
• Imagination — Romantic poets had their own special view of the
creative
power of the imagination and of the ways in which the human
mind is
adapted to nature. A majority of romantic novels favor imagination
over
rational, real story telling.

direct reaction to the French Revolution.

specifically the power of Nature to create strong
impressions in the mind and imagination. The
voice in Wordsworth's poetry is observant,
meditative and aware of the connection between
living things and objects. There is the sense that
past, present, and future all mix together in the
human consciousness.
