William Blake's works such as "The Tyger," "The Lamb," and "The Chimney Sweeper" explore themes of innocence, experience, and the nature of good and evil. His poetry reflects the Romantic emphasis on emotion and imagination.
Similarly, Wordsworth's "Sonnet The World Is Too Much with Us" and "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" highlight the Romantic focus on nature and the idea of the sublime.
Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" also explore themes of nature and the supernatural, while Lord Byron's "For Music" delves into the power of music and poetry.
Percy Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" and "To a Skylark" emphasize the Romantic ideals of inspiration and the power of nature.
John Keats' poetry, such as "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer," "When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn," explore themes of beauty, mortality, and the nature of art.
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" delves into themes of humanity, ethics, and the responsibility of scientific discovery.
Overall, these works reflect the Romantic emphasis on emotion, nature, imagination, and the supernatural. Their exploration of timeless themes and values make them relevant to modern times, as they continue to resonate with readers today. The historical context of the Romantic period, characterized by a reaction against the industrial revolution and a focus on individualism and emotion, influenced the works of these authors.
