Shakespeare wrote Venus and Adonis (romantic is a euphemism when describing this poem--pornographic might be more apt) in 1593 to make money. The theatres were closed due to a plague outbreak and he needed money somehow. He got the backing of the Earl of Southampton and the co-operation of a printer from Stratford (an old school chum, one suspects) and printed the poem. It was a success and ran into a number of editions.

John Keats himself was very romantic and sentimental. His published Love Letters to Fanny Brawnne underlines his romanticism and sentimentality. No wonder he wrote much about romance.
