Romanticism

In this episode of Echoes of English Literature, we dive into Romanticism, a movement that transformed literature by placing emotion, nature, and imagination at the center of human experience. Through the voices of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we explore how poetry moved away from the strict rationality of Neoclassicism to embrace the intimate, the subjective, and the spiritual. From Lyrical Ballads to iconic poems such as I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, this episode reveals why Romanticism continues to shape the way we feel, imagine, and understand the world.
