The heyday of English romantic poetry began in the 1970s of 18 and ended in the 20s of 19. The famous poets mainly include Burns, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats, who rebelled against classicism and expressed their dissatisfaction with reality.

Modernism is still a valuable poetic experience. It is an important part of modern ideology and culture, which has played a pioneering role for them and played a breakthrough historical role. But romanticism is a bigger poetic phenomenon in scale, influence and today's consequences. Several roots of modernism lie in romanticism; The goal pursued by romanticism has not been fully realized today, while modernism is a literary fashion.
It has become a thing of the past.
In order to explain this, it is necessary to re-understand romanticism. Romanticism covers a wide range and its content is complex, which needs to be limited. As the first step, I choose English romantic poetry as a new understanding.
Specific goals.
The special importance of English romanticism is partly due to its environment and partly due to its performance. On the environment, Britain is the first country to experience the first industrial revolution, the largest colonial empire in the world, and its government is used at home.
Mass movements were severely dealt with, and the people's struggle became more and more fierce, which eventually led to the later charter movement and parliamentary reform. From Blake to Keats, romantic poets have deep feelings about such an environment.
In terms of poetry, the works show unprecedented sharpness.
On expression: English romantic poetry has a long time and a large number. Two generations of important poets have many immortal works, which have broken through predecessors and national boundaries in subject matter and poetry art and become literature and thoughts all over Europe and even the world.
Influence. The theory of modern poetry in Britain also began in this period, and several great poets made great contributions.
For these reasons, English romantic poetry is not only British, but also an important part of world poetry. Re-understanding it is also a little more understanding of world poetry.
Re-understanding is to understand its history-its origin and development, its rise and development, which important poets are there, what major works they have written, what characteristics it has in thought and art, and what changes have taken place.
What's the impact, what's the significance for today, and so on.
