About What Was The Romantic Movement? | Literary Classics

The English Romantic poets of the 19th century, including Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats, pioneered a literary movement marked by an emphasis on emotion, nature, and individual expression. Wordsworth's celebration of spontaneous feelings and connection with nature, Coleridge's imaginative and experimental works, and Shelley's radicalism and visionary poetry collectively shaped the Romantic Age. Their contributions defined a period characterized by introspection, a deep connection with nature, and a rejection of traditional poetic forms.

Anglo-Saxon poetry reflects a fourth or fifth-century Pagan reality, creating noble pagan characters, such as Beowulf, in a Christian context. The tension arises as Christian theology requires damnation for these pagan characters, yet the poet sympathetically presents them in a favorable light. Beowulf, set in a fifth-century Danish Dynasty, exemplifies the heroic ideal of a pagan Anglo-Saxon. Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 💚

Charlotte Bronte, the author, was born in 1816 and grew up in a household marked by sickness and death, losing her mother at a young age.

The Canterbury Tales: The English Language's First Masterpiece | Literary Classic

Geoffrey Chaucer, a poet living in the late 1300s, witnessed significant societal changes in England during the transition from feudalism to a more mercantile system. Chaucer began writing the Canterbury Tales around 1387 during a period when the Catholic Church still held extreme power and the Black Death and the 100 Years War were still having profound impacts on England. Chaucer employs satire, irony, and humor throughout the tales, making readers laugh at first and then revealing the seriousness and tragedy beneath. His innovative use of the five-stress line in Middle English enhances the complexity of his mature poetry, setting him apart as a groundbreaking writer. Despite the unfinished nature of the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer's overarching design and exploration of morality and social reality make it one of the greatest works in English literature.
