Revenge by letitia Elizabeth elizabeth landon
MOVEMENT DESCRIpTIONRomanticism was questionably the largest artistic movement of the late 1700s. Its influence was felt across continents and through every artistic discipline into the mid-nineteenth century and many of its values and beliefs can still be seen in modern poetry. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact start of the Romantic Movement. The beginnings can be traced to many events of the time.
