Romanticism 
Eden Gately English H 10
Romanticism Poetry Due to the outbreak of rationalism from the Scientific Revolution, people began focusing on optimism and humanism to make the world a better place in which they called the Enlightenment. Following this, The Romantic Movement is said to have began in the 1770’s and is known as an international artistic and philosophical movement that focused on the thought of oneself and the world. Its span also included the American Revolution (1776) and the French Revolution (1789) and is often called the “age of revolutions” continuing to the Industrial Revolution. Romanticism transforms the theory and practice of all art and the way we perceive the world; artists of the time glorified nature, idealized the past, and celebrated the divinity of all creation (Introduction to Romanticism).
John Keats was one of many Romantic poets; his work is also some of many famous and cherished pieces of art. Keats was born in 1795 and the rest of his short life ending in 1821 was devoted to the perfection of poetry. He used immense imagery and philosophy throughout his poems. When Keats was a child, his father suffered a terrible accident and died when he was only eight years old. This event shaped Keats’ understanding of human conditions such as the idea of suffering and loss. After two poorly reviewed and criticized publications, Keats decided to change and envisioned a kind of poetry blooming its beauty from human experiences (biography.com). One of his more sensuous works was “To Autumn” and “Ode to a Nightingale” which was his more different ode and individualized poem.
“To Autumn” explicates the season of autumn as a female goddess, her hair “soft-lifted” by the wind and “drowsed with the fume of poppies” while fruits ripen and late flowers bloom in the panicking weeks before winter begins. “Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? / Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,” begins the last stanza. Keats uses these
