 INTRODUCTION
We know that history is very important for rational and critical knowledge, that is why
this present essay explains one of the periods of British literature and the most
outstanding and important writers who marked history with their works and
contributions to their British culture, The 18th Century, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe,
Etc., The Era of Realism and Romanticism, S Coleridge, Walter Scott, Bronte Sisters,
Charles Dickens.

DEVELOPMENT
JHONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745), He was an Anglo-Irish writer, who was one of the
most celebrated and scathing critics of his day, is remembered for his teacher
"Gulliver's Travels" (1726), which is imaginative and pessimistic satire of society that
became, curiously, a success of children's literature.

DANIEL DEFOE English journalist and writer of the 17th century, author of the
classic Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is important for being one of the first cultivators of
the novel, a literary genre that became popular in England and also he received the
title of father of all English novelists. Defoe is considered a pioneer of the economic
press.

THE ERA OF REALISM AND ROMANTICISM

Romanticism and Realism were two great intellectual movements that took place in
the 19th century. Romantic writers, artists, musicians, and philosophers had a
particular focus on nature, imagination, and introspection. They were a more
imaginative group of creators in that they looked for meaning in everything.
Realists sought to express their surroundings in the most authentic way possible.
With every literary movement we are taught about the advancements that it yielded
and the success that it had.

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772-1834) was an English poet, critic and philosopher,
one of the founders along with his friend William Wordsworth of Romanticism in
England and one of the lakists. His best known works are Rime of the Ancient
Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as his prose work Biography Literary.
WALTER SCOTT
Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet popular throughout much of the world
in the 19th century, His novels, set in the Middle Ages, mainly have a rebellious and
nationalist tone. They were very successful and were imitated throughout Europe. Its
characters and heroes are not idealized but are realistically presented in episodes
and situations of daily life. The success of Walter Scott's works has led to their
adaptation to other art forms, such as opera and film. La donna del Lago (1819), by
Rossini. Based on The Lady of the Lake

BRONTE SISTERS
The Bronte sisters were 19th century role models, as they subverted social
conventions by becoming writers. Their education granted them the ability to write
some of the most well-known novels of all time, and they serve as a historic example
of the power of equal education. Charlotte is most known for writing "Jane Eyre" and
Emily for "Wuthering Heights". Bronte.

CHARLES DICKENS.
Charles Dickens is considered the greatest English novelist of the Victorian era, the
range, compassion, and intelligence of his view of society and its shortcomings
enriched his novels and made him one of the great forces in 19th-century literature.
In 1833 he began contributing stories and descriptive essays to magazines and
newspapers; this attracted attention and were reprinted as Sketches by “Boz”

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, during the 18th century many events occurred that marked history,
there were many technological advances that in a certain way changed the way
people lived, likewise all these events were part of the literature, since important
authors were based on their reality to create their texts, I also believe that this period
called The Era Of Realism And Romanticism is important, because in this way we
look at the deficiencies of said movements, also taking into account the feelings and
reactions of those who lived through these periods of time.
