what is romantics acording to English litrature?

Question

definition of romantics.

Answer 1

Unless you provide more detail, I'm going to assume you mean Romanticism as a period within English literature...and define it as a poetic movement starting in the late eighteenth century with William Wordsworth, William Blake, Samuel Coleridge, and continuing through John Keats, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley. Those are the "major" poets included in the Romantic movement.

Romanticism in British literature developed in a different form slightly later, mostly associated with the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose co-authored book "Lyrical Ballads" (1798) sought to reject Augustan poetry in favour of more direct speech derived from folk traditions. Both poets were also involved in Utopian social thought in the wake of the French Revolution. The poet and painter William Blake is the most extreme example of the Romantic sensibility in Britain, epitomised by his claim 'I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's'. Blake's artistic work is also strongly influenced by Medieval illuminated books. The painters J.M.W. Turner and John Constable are also generally associated with Romanticism. Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley and John Keats constitute another phase of Romanticism in Britain. The historian Thomas Carlyle and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood represent the last phase of transformation into Victorian culture. William Butler Yeats, born in 1865, referred to his generation as "the last romantics."

Answer 2

Depends on the time era specified. Do you mean english lit as in england or general. Modern or period style.
Byron and Shakespeare are great examples af classic romantic english literature. Jane Austin, Georgette Heyer, are a bit later in period. Anything on the shelves under romance is still classified as romantic literature. Just not the type studied and most of it average in quality.

I believe this refers to romance novels. Many English romance novels are in a category known as Gothic Romance. They are stories set in creaky old gothic mansions and castles, etc. They are like ".Wuthering Heights," for example.
