Literature
William Wordsworth
- Poetry was the foremost literature during the time period
- Drama was pretty much non-existent
- Emphasis on imagination and emotion
- Nature became the stimulus that stirred thought and imagination (mostly due to the ugliness of the French Revolution)
- Many medieval subjects and settings
- Much of the literature was a reflection on the changing political climate based on the French Revolution
- Important writers: Samuel Coleridge, Mary Shelley, John Keats, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth
