The Romantic Period in English literature occurred during the late 18th and early 19th century, and was characterized by what Coleridge called "a search for the sublime". Some famous Romantic writers include: Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Hazlitt. Many romantic writers were primarily poets, though some non-fiction and long-form prose was also published in this period.
