Romanticism, a literary, artistic, and philosophical period in the establishment of Polish culture, began

in Poland about 1820, coinciding with the publication of Adam Mickiewicz's first poems in 1822.
Polish Romantics were heavily influenced by other European Romantics during the initial phase.
Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, Cyprian Kamil Norwid, and Zygmunt Krasiński were among the
most notable writers of the time. The most well-known of these poets was Adam Mickiewicz. His
famous poetry epic Pan Tadeusz expresses his love for his homeland's divided nation and people. This
epic is especially noteworthy since it seeks to help people cope with their feudal history and let go of
it. This period was an awakening in Poland, to this day being the most important one, most iconic one
that brought many amazing authors.
The essential features of British Romanticism were the connections between nature's biological
progression and human creativity, as well as its passion for individual imagination as an initiating
force. Romanticism was nothing short of a revolution in how poets thought about their art, its origins,
and its powers, and English-language poets have continued to progress or generate counter-reactions
to that revolution ever since. Romanticism in the United Kingdom was not a unified movement
focused on a single individual. William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats are considered the prominent British
Romantic poets.
