Through supported study of some major writers of the Romantic period in England (1790-1830),
this subject examines not just the poetic and fictional styles of the period, but
the lasting changes in attitude of which they were the result: changes in attitude
which have shaped the way many of us think and live today. To understand Romanticism
is, in part, to understand ourselves.
