The first Romantic period in English literature is considered to be from the late 18th to the early 19th century. This period was characterized by a focus on individualism, emotion, imagination, and nature, with poets such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Blake leading the way.
There eight periods of English Literatures were Old English Period (5th to 11th centuries), Middle English period(12th to 15th centuries), Renaissance(16th to 17th centuries). Augustan Period (18th), Romantic (First half of the 19th century), Victorian (Last half of the 19th) century ), Modernism (First to Second World War), The Post-Modern Period (last World War to end 20th century).
The word "romantic" was first used to describe a style of literature and art characterized by an emphasis on emotion, individualism, and nature. It was a reaction against the rationality and restraint of the Enlightenment period.
"Beowulf" is often considered England's first great work of English literature. It is an epic poem that dates back to the early medieval period and explores themes of heroism, warfare, and loyalty.
Romaticism in literature and the arts in Germany had its heyday from about 1795-1830 or slightly later and continued in a rather trite form for several decades. Please note that by no means all works produced in this period were Romantic. Germany also had a very strong pre-Romantic movement in literature in particular.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote in the Romantic period of literature, characterized by an emphasis on emotion, imagination, and the supernatural. Poe's works often explore themes of mystery, darkness, and psychological depth, showcasing his unique contribution to American literature.
The medieval period was the period in which the Old English had disappeared and the modern English come. It was a transition period. The first poet in modern English was Chaucer. Spencer came later. The modern English of Chaucer itself cannot be now read without a translation.Much could not be expected from that period. In addition to this the social development should also be taken into account. The middle class had then pushed aside the feudalism. In Social set up also it was a transition period. The feudalism had not disappeared and the middle class was yet to assert in the society. After all literature is a mirror of the society.
The literary eras are typically arranged chronologically as follows: Ancient literature Medieval literature Renaissance literature Enlightenment literature Romantic literature Victorian literature Modernist literature Postmodern literature
