In many ways, it was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment. The poems, novels, and paintings from this era prioritize emotion and the experience of awe-inspiring and logic-defying visions and events. The Romantic period in European art lasted throughout the first half of the nineteenth century. In fact, many scholars consider the publication of Lyrical Ballads to be the start of the Romantic Era in England. Wordsworth and Coleridge are considered two of the most important literary icons of their time and pioneers of the Romantic Movement in literature. The majority of the poems in Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems (1798) were written by William Wordsworth, but a few were written by his friend and colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
