CultureRomanticism was partly influenced by the American and French revolutions, and its main themes were the importance of imagination and feeling, the love of nature, and an interest in the past. In Britain, its greatest achievements were in poetry, especially that of William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Blake and Lord Byron. Romantic novels produced during this period include Wuthering Heights (1847) and Frankenstein (1818). In painting, Romantic artists included John Constable, J M W Turner and William Blake.
