reflection-Wordsworth and Keats

A very interesting class lesson. We discussed  similarities and the differences Between Wordsworth and Keats and how they are unique in their own ways. Both authors were romantic writers and by romantic i mean the Romanticism era; a period of artistic and intellectual movement that originated in the late 18th century. It stressed strong emotion, imagination, freedom from classical correctness in all form including paintings and poetry.
Starting with the similarities of Keats and Wordsworth both talked about nature and how beautiful and comforting it is they also wrote about the empirical age.
What i learned from the class lesson  is that Wordsworth is a teacher in his works, he wants his readers to gain something, he talks about Joy and that he wants his readers to find themselves while on the other hand Keats didn't write to change others views also he wrote about the joy and relief nature can bring.
It can be said that both authors attitude to writing was influenced on their life experiences for example Keats lost his parents at a very young age which reflected in his work also Wordsworth lived in France during the revolution which can said to have influence him because, he frequently talked about about how he wants his readers to discover themselves which can be equated to freedom displayed in the french revolution because they were tired of the repressive monarchy they were living under.
