Name: Instructor: Assignment: Date Percy Bysshe Shelley The Age of Romanticism in literature is defined as the late 18th century period that began in Western Europe. The Romantic movement was a time when authors expressed strong emotions, freedom, and independence in artistic work. During this period, writers firmly rejected rigid rules, order, and rationality. Romanticism was an era that followed the Age of Enlightenment and was considered a response to past ideas of the Enlightenment that primarily focused on order and logic. Writers of this period were more likely to let their imaginations govern the plot instead of focusing on realistic limitations. This movement places more emphasis on the infinite and the mysterious rather than on science and facts, and on freedom from rules rather than restricted order. Another characteristic of the Romantic period is nationalism. During this era, people believed that joining forces to fight injustice or fight for the human rights movement was the only way to achieve physical and intellectual freedom. This is why most authors of this period wrote their stories, whether true or fictional, using rebellion and revolution as the plot. The Romantic movement was incomplete after Cowper's death in 1800. However, the movement was supposed to reach its highest zenith with the works of the greatest writers of the next quarter century. These writers were to create a body of literature as best and unique as that produced in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the greatest writers of the quarter century were wholly or partly poets. These writers can be grouped into two main groups.

The period of the Romantic Revolution and the triumph of writers occurred in the same period as the French Revolution and Europe's struggle against Napoleon. This time political power was transferred from the small groups that controlled the country to the middle class. Percy By she Shelley is one of the authors who contributed to the triumph of the romantic movement. In both his life and his poetry, the great desire for reform and the superb lyrics are incapable of being disentangled. He strongly supports the need for the human race to be free from institutions, citing that institutions are the course of sin and misery for the human being. He thinks that if humans were left under the control of nature and given the choice to live according to their beliefs, then the world would be a better place for everyone.
