In the British literary tradition, romanticism refers to a historical period

dominated by Wordsworth and five other poets: William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats.
The English romantics were united in rebellion against their Enlightenment forebears. Where the writers of the Enlightenment period, also known as the neoclassical period, admired and imitated classical forms, the romantics looked to nature for inspiration.
