ENGLISH ROMANTICISM AND ITS DEVELOPMENT.

Abstract

This article delves into the nuanced development of English Romanticism, tracing
its origins, key figures, and thematic evolution. Beginning with the late 18th century
and extending into the early 19th century, English Romanticism emerged as a response
to societal, political, and cultural shifts, challenging the established norms of literature
and art. By examining the works of prominent Romantic poets such as William
Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron, as well as lesser-known
figures, this study elucidates the diverse manifestations of Romantic ideals, including
a reverence for nature, an exploration of the self, and a critique of industrialization and
urbanization. Furthermore, the article explores the influence of Romanticism on
subsequent literary movements and its enduring legacy in contemporary culture.
Through a multidimensional analysis, this article offers a comprehensive
understanding of English Romanticism and its enduring significance in shaping literary
discourse and cultural identity.
