Percy Shelley and the Romantic Ideal

Through the opinionated and fervent eyes of Percy Shelley, Romantic literary ideals were anti- most of the problems that plagued England at the time. And so, Romantic poetry became a medium in which Shelley’s dissenting voice could be profoundly critical and could prescribe remedies for these problems. Thus, Romanticism flourished as an outlet for those whose ideals were growing further and further apart from the ideals that were guiding tempestuous England.

  1. I really like the way you used Wordsworth as a point on which you could expand to talk about romanticism as a larger movement. The wording here flows nicely too. Good job!

  2. Bringing back Brit Lit! I think your thesis sounds really unique and is well stated. Also, the way you are setting up the focus of your paper is really interesting. Brilliant...hah
