The pioneers of romantic literature are1poets robert burns and william blake in the middle and late 8th century. Burns draws nutrition from Scottish folk songs. His Scottish Dialcet poems are good at lyricism and satire, and the language is popular. Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience look forward to an ideal social order, which is fresh and original. However, there are two opposing schools of romanticism, namely, positive romanticism and negative romanticism. Positive romanticism is the trend of progress, dare to face up to reality and criticize the darkness of society. It guides people to look forward, negative romanticism is a reactionary countercurrent, adopts a negative evasive attitude, opposes the status quo and nostalgia, and guides people to look back. The first real masters of English romanticism were three poets called "lake poets", who were also representatives of negative romanticism. Poets william wordsworth (1770- 1850), samuel taylor coleridge (1772- 1834) and robert southey (1774-65434). Wordsworth is the most accomplished poet among the lake poets. He and Coleridge, another poet of "lake poets", published A Collection of Lyric Songs, which became the cornerstone of English romantic literature. Emerging poets pushed English romantic literature to a climax, with Byron, Shelley and Katz as the representative poets. They are active romantics. Different from Huxiang poets, their works have more fighting consciousness and political inclination. Shelley wrote a lot of poems and plays, such as The Chyi Chin Family, ode to the west wind, Ode to a Lark, Ode to Freedom and a famous paper, Poetry Debate. Prometheus Boundless is Shelley's masterpiece.
