Abstract :The article studies the rise of English romanticism in the last half of the 18th century, the French bourgeois revolution in 1789 that sharpened the contradictions within capitalism and paved the way for the emergence of English romanticism, the emergence of the progressive and reactionary romantic movement and their participation in the struggle. Within the article, progressive romantics like George Sand, Dickens, and Thackeray are compared to the founding members of reactionary romantics like Chateaubriand, Alfred de Vigny, Alfred de Musset, and Walter Stott\'s English romanticism, as well as the \"Society of London Correspondents\" in the \"Society of Revolutionaries\" and the \"Constitutional Society.\" The emergence of romantic poets like Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Wordsworth is also studied in the article. The essay also discusses how poets like Byron, Shelley, and Keats elevated revolutionary romance to the pinnacle of art, and how romantics like Ward Sword and Coleridge—who lived in a lake-surrounded Cumberland—struggled against the poetry of classicism. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, and William Wordsworth are all discussed in this article along with samples of their poetry and an analysis of their lives and creative output. A list of the used literature concludes the article.
