Romantic and Modern Ages are well known for the dominance of poetry. A comparative study with critical approach of the poetry composed during both the ages. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact start of the romantic movement, as its beginning can be traced to many events of the time: a surge of interest in folklore in the early to mid-nineteenth century with the work of the brothers Grimm, reactions against neoclassicism and the Augustan poets in England, and political events and uprisings that fostered nationalistic pride.
