This Hypertext Project explores the ways
that images can be added to poetry from the Romantic Era to
re-introduce it to a larger audience and to make it more accessible.
The Romantic Era includes many classic poets. Unfortunately, many
people, often even students of literature, find it hard to read these
classics, understand their meanings, and relate them to issues of
today. Thankfully, this problem can be alleviated. Images
added to poetry add dimensions that might not have been considered
before. When these images and poems are linked with other poems,
they create a web of poetry, images, and small amounts of textual
interpretation that helps facilitate users in reading and interpreting
the poetry.
These four poems exemplify many of the defining characteristics of
Romantic Era literature, but two of the most obvious are Beauty and
Nature.
Remember:
Keep an eye out for references to
Nature and Beauty, which are two major Romantic
themes.
