 Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and
intellectual movement that originated in
Europe toward the end of the 18th century.
 Various dates are given for the Romantic
period but here the publishing ofWilliam
Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads in 1798 is taken
as the beginning, and the crowning of Queen
Victoria in 1837 as its end.
 Romanticism arrived later in other parts of
the English-speaking world, such as America.

6. Conclusion
 Thus, In literature Romanticism found recurrent
themes in the evocation or criticism of the past,
the cult of "sensibility" with its emphasis on
women and children, the isolation of the artist or
narrator, and respect for nature.
 Furthermore, several romantic authors, such as
Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne,
based their writings on the supernatural/occult
and human psychology. Romanticism tended to
regard satire as something unworthy of serious
attention, a prejudice still influential today.
