Compare And Contrast The Romantic Era And The Victorian Era

Love was something that was displayed in both the Romantic Era and The Victorian Era when reading authors work during their time.

She was able to use the Romantics values as well, and still shape love around the Victorian Era. She makes it very distinguishable to where the audience could know how she would go back and forth to show her love for Robert. In the sonnets there were times where she would describe the love for Robert through beauty and also of nature. With the Victorian age he loves wraps around the religious values of faith, the heavens, and the afterlife.

In The Romantic Era Williams Woodsworth when writing “I wandered a lonely cloud” showed the isolation and misery that was shared in Elizabeth sonnets as well. Some of the differences was the language used in The Victorian Era. Most of the language used in the Victorian Era was modern day language. It did not share any Shakespearian literature or did not have any dreamy scenes as the romantic would have. Another thing is both shared skepticism religion but the Victorian’s ventured off more than the Romantic Era.

Elizabeth sonnets was critique when showing how religious views, her feminist considerations with how she should be loved, and Similarities/differences between the Romantic and Victorian
