This historical survey links two periods: the first has frequently been referred to as the Enlightenment of the Eighteenth Century and includes such figures as Alexander Pope, Anne Finch, Mary Montagu, Jonathan Swift, and Samuel Johnson. The second period covers the relatively short but intense age of English Romanticism - popular because of such writers as William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, Sir Walter Scott, Thomas De Quincey, and John Keats.
