The Neoclassical period of English literature, also known as the Long 18th Century, began in 1660 and ended in 1789 CE. The Romanticism period of English literature began in 1798 and ended in 1832 CE.
After Neoclassicism, which emphasized order, symmetry, and classical themes, the Romantic movement emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Romanticism focused on individual emotion, nature, and personal expression, often reacting against the rationalism and constraints of Neoclassicism. This period celebrated imagination and the sublime, leading to diverse artistic and literary forms that prioritized subjective experience.
