1 4 Grade Chinese Lesson 13 The Rise and Fall of Romanticism 19 In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a fanatical literary wave in Europe-the Romantic Movement. Byron, Shelley and Keats mentioned in this lesson are all pioneers of this movement. Students who are familiar with European history should know that Europe has experienced a comprehensive liberation from ideology to system at this time. The French Revolution, which took place at the end of 18 and the beginning of 19, broke the deep-rooted feudal system in continental Europe. In this great change, the mighty Louis XVI became the first king to be guillotined in French history. Later, the omnipotent military genius Napoleon made a name for himself in this great revolution. However, this great change did not bring freedom, equality and fraternity that most people longed for, especially after Napoleon came to power, the Restoration Dynasty retreated. When all kinds of complex emotions come together, poetry becomes a powerful weapon of expression. In this context, the romantic righteousness movement began. In this short wave of literature, a large number of people have been born so far.
