What is romantic poems?

Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe in the late 18th century and continued into the 19th century. It was characterized by a focus on emotion, imagination, and the individual, as well as a rejection of the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and logic.

Romantic poetry is poetry that reflects the ideals of Romanticism. It is typically characterized by:

* Emphasis on emotion: Romantic poets often wrote about their own personal feelings and experiences, rather than trying to write about objective or universal truths.

* Use of imagery: Romantic poets often used vivid imagery to create a sense of atmosphere or to express their emotions.

* Use of symbolism: Romantic poets often used symbols to represent abstract ideas or emotions.

* Idealization of nature: Romantic poets often wrote about nature in a way that idealized it, seeing it as a source of beauty, inspiration, and spiritual connection.

* Focus on the individual: Romantic poets often wrote about the individual's experience of the world, rather than focusing on the collective experience of society.

Some of the most famous Romantic poets include:

* William Wordsworth

* Samuel Taylor Coleridge

* John Keats

* Percy Bysshe Shelley

* Lord Byron

* Emily Dickinson

* Walt Whitman

Romantic poetry has had a lasting influence on Western literature. It can be seen in the work of later poets such as T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Wallace Stevens.
