Answer 2

Ah I love Romanticism... it was an era that aspired to individualism, the primacy of one's own inspirations. It was a movement in literature, poetry, and the arts-during the Industrial Revolution when the world was becoming more superficial and man-made, artists would find solace and escape to nature, where lots of these poems from the Romantic era were written... Wordsworth, Shelley, they all were beautiful writings. Romantics were individuals, inspired by emotions, feelings, the depths of love and their own desires. Hope this can help. :)

Answer 3

Romanticism began in the mid-18th century and reached its height in the 19th
century. The Romantic literature of the nineteenth century holds in its topics
the ideals of the time period, concentrating on emotion, nature, and the
expression of "nothing." The Romantic era was one that focused on the
commonality of humankind and, while using emotion and nature; the poets and
their works shed light on people's universal natures. Romanticism as a movement
declined in the late 19th century and early 20th century with the growing
dominance of Realism in the literature and the rapid advancement of science and
technology. However, Romanticism was very impressionative on most individuals
during its time.
