Question

' how was romanticism influenced by the french revolution?''

Answer 1

The Romantic movement of 19th century art and literature was influenced by revolutionary events such as the French and American revolutions.

The 18th century Romantic poets were influenced by many outside influences but chief among them was the revolution occurring in France. Their poetry reflects the social turmoil raging across Europe and their own dreams and worries. The link between the French Revolution and poetry is best shown by examining three English Romantics: Wordsworth, Shelley, and Coleridge, and their political interests and activities in the French Revolution, and how that was reflected in their poems.
