Romanticism in English Literature | Introduction & Key Concepts | Part 1

What is Romanticism? Why did Romanticism emerge in English literature, and what were its major ideas? In this first part of our series on Romanticism, we discuss its introduction, historical background, emergence, and important concepts. We explore how Romanticism challenged the dominance of reason, rules, and classical traditions and gave greater importance to imagination, emotion, nature, freedom, and the individual. In Part 2, we will discuss the major Romantic poets and the important characteristics of Romanticism in detail. This lecture is useful for BS English, BA English, MA English, literature students, teachers, and anyone interested in English Literary Theory and History ###Romanticism #EnglishLiterature #RomanticPoets #LiteraryHistory #BSEnglish #EnglishLiteratureLecture #LiteraryTheory #RomanticismInEnglishLiterature #WilliamWordsworth #SamuelTaylorColeridge
