This paper examines the major writers of the Romantic literary movement and analyzes how Romanticism differs from other key literary periods such as the Enlightenment, Realism, and Modernism. Through comparative literary analysis of canonical texts by figures such as William Wordsworth, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, the study highlights Romanticism’s emphasis on emotion, individualism, nature, imagination, and the supernatural. The findings reveal significant thematic, stylistic, and philosophical contrasts between Romanticism and other periods, illustrating the movement’s pivotal role in shaping literary history and expanding the boundaries of creative expression.
