The Romantic Period 1798-1832

1. "But oh! that deep Romantic chasm which slanted/ Down the green hill,
athwart a cedarn cover!/ A savage place! A holy and enchanted/ As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted..."
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

4. Ideas That Would Not Die- The original message of the Revolution, the one that had thrilled Wordsworth, was that people were to be free in their personal lives and free to choose their government: that all people were equally "citizens". However sussequent actions perverted them, these ideas would not die.
In England, a group of men and women, mostly Quakers, led by William Wilberforce, were determined that one ancient social institution would be abolished. Thanks to them, slavery was ended in England and in the Empire.
The Reform Bill of 1832 is another manifestation of the process of peaceful revolution that transformed England. Behind it was the idea of extending the right to vote. The 1832 bill was a step in a journey that took nearly a century, butin the end gave all citizens voting rights.

5. The Sonnet- Romantic poets revived the sonnet, whcih had virtually disappeared after Milton. Wordsworth uses it as a political form in "London, 1802," and Shelley as a visionary form in "Ozymandis" and in "Ode to the West wind," which is made up of linked sonnets.
The Ode- In addition, the Romantics brought to perfection one fo the oldest forms of poetry, the ode. Odes were written by Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and, most notably, by the 24-year-old Keats.
The Byronic Hero- Lord Byron embodies in his life the spirit of age. A handsome, club-footed aristocrat who scorned the rules of society, he was described as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Byron created in his person and in his characters the Byronic Hero, mysterious, brooding, threatening. That hero is the distant ancestor of today's mysterious outsiders, whter in film, literature, or the graphic novel.
The Gothic- Mary Shelley wrote frankenstein, influenced by the relatively new tradition of the horror-filed Gothic novel. Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster, and he acts out the great Romantic theme of going beyond the limit. The novel reveals what happens when a man's obsession makes him unable to imagine the consequences of his action.
Going beyond the limit was yet another expression of the Romantics' drive to escape the everyday, the routine, and the humdrum.
