Prose Writers Of Romantic Age MCQs with Answer Key

Prose Writers Of Romantic Age (1798-1824)


During Romantic Age, there was no revolt of the prose-writers against the Eighteenth Century comparable to that of the poets, but a change had taken place in the prose style also. Many Eighteenth-Century prose writers depended on assumptions about the suitability of various prose styles for various purposes which they shared with their relatively small but sophisticated public, but writers in the Romantic age were rather more concerned with the subject matter and emotional expression than with appropriate style. Though some Romantic poets- Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, and Byron wrote excellent prose in their critical writings, letters, and journals, and some novelists like Scott and Jane Austen were masters of prose-style, those who wrote prose for its own sake in the form of the essays and attained excellence in the art of prose-writings were Lamb, Hazlitt and De Quincy.
