Hi..I need help in writing an essay specifically on language used in the Romantic period by the romantic poets.

The authors of the Romantic period were heavily influenced
by their dislike of the preceding literary movement (The Age of Reason). Historically,
any movement which exists comes about given a disagreement with the works of a current
period. The Romantics did not like the generalizations and instructive aspects of the
Realists. Therefore, the Romantics focused upon the importance of feelings, imagination,
and intuition.


With this, the Romantics centred their
writings around nature given, for many of the authors, nature evoked deep feelings which
were perfect for the ways in which they wished to write while focusing on imagination
and intuition.


To explicate an essay on the Romantics (for
example), you could find different examples of authors and how they used nature to
explore the abstract ideas of the imagination, feelings, and
intuition.


A few good authors to look at in regards to
these characteristics are: Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, William Blake, and Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow.
