Progressive Romanticism was a literary and artistic movement that emerged in
the late 18th and early 19th centuries, in response to the rationality and empiricism of
the Enlightenment. Progressive Romantics sought to explore the power of emotion,
imagination, and individual creativity, as well as to critique the social and political
systems of their time. Some of the key representatives of progressive Romanticism
include William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and
Lord Byron.
