  1. Romaticism changed  the main ideas from the Elightenment (XVIII) and the Industrial Revolution (XIX). Therefore, it changed reason for emotions and industrialised goods for hand -made products.
  2. Emotions are more important than reason; imagination is more important than copying the Classics. Truth lies in poetry and nature.
  3. They used their words to question science and technology. They also wrote about the beauty in nature.
  4. A poet should be imaginative; should reach the ordinary reader; should be emotional; should love nature.
  5. They changed the focus of poetry; they wrote about individual issues more than general principles. They wrote poetry using common speech. They abandoned ornamented language. They had an organic not a classical view of poetry.
  6. Blake put the focus on personal feelings and creative mind; Burns put the focus on emotions; Coleridge emphasised on imagination and said that copying the Neoclassics was wrong; Wordsworth and Keats thought that common speech was more important than ornamented and sophisticated language.
