📚 Chapter 13: The Romantic Age (1798–1815)
Welcome to the heart of British Romanticism — a literary movement that reshaped imagination, emotion, and the human spirit. 🌿💫

This chapter explores the Romantic Age, beginning with the publication of Wordsworth and Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads (1798) — the manifesto of a new poetic era. We’ll uncover how poets, novelists, and critics rebelled against neoclassical restraint and embraced freedom, nature, and individuality.

🕊️ Historical Context:
The Romantic Age was born in the shadow of the French Revolution (1789–1799) — a force that awakened dreams of liberty and equality. Writers like Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke, and Mary Wollstonecraft debated politics, revolution, and the rights of men and women.
