Alliteration (the first letter of a group of words)
Alliteration is an important term in English stylistics. Alliteration is one of the means of English phonetic rhetoric. It contains the beauty of music and the neatness of language, which makes the language integrate sound and emotion, sound and meaning, and has strong expressive force and appeal.
English alliteration, also called vowel rhyme, or alliteration, is transformed from the Latin phrase ad literam, which means that two or more words have the same initial letter, forming a pleasant pronunciation. The most common alliteration phrases are: first and foremost, (with) strength and foremost, saints and sinners, (in) happiness and (or) sadness. If we trace back to the source, I'm afraid alliteration can be traced back to old English. Around the fifth century, Anglo-Saxon invaders brought Anglo-Saxon to the British, which is the basis of modern English. Perhaps even then, they also brought a new form of poetry, whose main feature is the frequent use of alliteration. Only the first phoneme of the first part or the first consonant group of the first part are the same. If the first part is completely missing, only the main vowel can be the same. Alliteration is a means to strengthen the sense of rhythm of lines and a rhythm auxiliary factor. This is also an important expression of English pursuit of formal beauty and phonological beauty.

Romanticism has two opposing schools of thought, namely, positive romanticism and negative romanticism. The former is a progressive trend, which makes people look forward, while the latter is a reactionary countercurrent, which makes people look back.

Active romantic writers dare to face up to reality, criticize the darkness of society, aim at feudal aristocrats, oppose the remnants of feudal factors in capitalist society, and expose all kinds of evil phenomena caused by the bourgeoisie itself, so they are full of passion for resistance and struggle, hope for the future, yearn for a new and better life, and some are in favor of utopian socialism.
