a revolution in itself;

Romanticism began in the roots of Revolution and a growing development that captivated writers in an entirely different form than the century prior. Rising from chaos and the prevalence of military coups and violence, poets and other literary writers began to conceive a new process of thought that affected the manner various forms of art came to be. William Wordsworth began to present “intensified presentation of ordinary life and nature using common language,” which was written in a sense that everyone could understand if they had the audacity to pick up the piece and read it – unlike before where literacy was reserved mostly for those of nobility. His best friend, Samuel Coleridge, also wrote to the same inspiration and challenged the old system of writing to a new and expansive form which eventually altered the face of literature and its forms of expression. “Tintern Alley” offers imagery that represents nature at some of its finest, providing new forms of contemplation but also the newest addition of natural elements. The tone is whimsical and thoughtful with a more simplified language that lacks too much complexity, so everyone has the opportunity to understand. “Kubla Khan”, meanwhile, offers a similar amount of extensive imagery and captivating considerations of the Mongol dynasty in written form. While both are written similarly, both contrast by the specific feeling - one more dramatic and almost considerably harsh while the other is whimsical and more prone to brighter sorts of imagery.
