  Classicism and Romanticism Late 18th century, literature in England was stuck in a rut.  Classicism, a witty, ornate style influenced heavily by the work of ancient Greece and Rome, dominated English literature. At its worst, classicism could be dreadfully boring. Bound by tradition and elaborate rules, it was often only accessible to an elite able to understand the witty wordplay and classical references. Late 18th century, a new literary and artistic movement was afoot. Romanticism began in Germany and migrated across Europe. A reaction against the strictures of classicism. It prized nature over the industrialized city, emotion over reason, and the individual over institutions like the church and state.  William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, and John Keats, did not see themselves as a unified school of poetry. Later critics lumped them together as the English Romantics due to similarities across their bodies of work. REGENCY PERIOD

  The saying “The Empire on which the sun never sets” has been used to explain the vastness of the British Empire. Between the 18th and 20th century, the British Empire acquired more territories making it the largest empire in history. The Empire had establishments in Africa, Asia, Europe, America, and numerous Islands across the globe. Historians established that roughly 25% of the earth landmass was in control of the British. The region was so extensive that at any one time there was daylight in one of the territories.  How big was the British Empire The British Empire was made up of colonies, protectorates, dominions, and mandates administered by the United Kingdom. By 1913, the Empire had more than 412 million people. This was almost a quarter of the global population. The total area covered was estimated to be 13.7 million square miles.
