ENG-3071 Romantic Literature

British writers of the Romantic era, while highly diverse in their views, in general evidenced agreement with William Blake's assertion that: "Every Thing that Lives is Holy;" shared pantheistic beliefs in the sanctity, divinity, and equality of all new life; saw the human realm not as apart from but as a part of the natural world. Major authors include William Blake, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Bryon, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Clare, John Keats, and Mary Shelley.
