Romanticism in Literature
John Wolfgang Von Geothe was a German romance writer. In 1774 he published The Sorrows of Young Werther which was about a sensitive man who's love for virtuous married women led him to commit suicide.
Victor Hugo wrote poems, plays, and novels that expressed romanticism's revolutionary spirit. Hugo's works often reflected the fascination with history. His novels Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame both show struggles of individuals against society
William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge both used nature as their source of beauty. Later English romantic poets wrote poems celebrating rebellious heroes, passionate love, and the mystery and beauty of nature.
Caspar David Friedrich
The brothers Jakob and Wilheim Grimm were authors who collected and wrote Grimm's Fairy Tales.
