ROMANTIC PERIOD (c. 1790-1830)
Romantic poets write about nature, imagination, and individuality in England. Some Romantics include Coleridge,
Blake, Keats, and Shelley in Britain and Johann von Goethe in Germany. Jane Austen also writes at this time,
though she is typically not categorized with the male Romantic poets. In America, this period is mirrored in the
Transcendental Period from about 1830-1850. Transcendentalists include Emerson and Thoreau. Gothic
writings, (c. 1790-1890) overlap with the Romantic and Victorian periods. Writers of Gothic novels (the precursor
to horror novels) include Radcliffe, Monk Lewis, and Victorians like Bram Stoker in Britain. In America, Gothic
writers include Poe and Hawthorne.
