Literary Romanticism is the era literay production carried out between the late eighteenth and mid nineteenth centuries in various parts of Europe. This literary manifestation was subject to aestheticisms that were totally opposed to the cosmopolitan and extremist expositions of the French enlightenment.
The difference they have with literature in the Victorian era is that they did not respect the limits of genres and mixed the tragic with the comic and the verse with the prose. Also romantic poets give great importance to feelings. Another difference is that romantic literature was characterized by the evasion (rejection of reality and escape from it through the imagination) and the projection in nature ( uncontrolled nature of man, which dominate natural phenomena such as storms, rain, etc.)
On the other hand, literature in the Victorian Era seeks a new realism. Victorian literature was based on long and neat novels, the most influential and most noticeable feature was the similarity between novels and real life and what happened then in England, the history of middle class families.
For the first time, women took a central role in novels and literary works. Realism, that is, the acute observation of individual problems and social relations, was the tendency that prevailed.
