message: It is a total misunderstanding that Goethe or Schiller are integrated in the German romantic movement. The begin of the German romanticism (at the end of the 18th century) started as a parallel, overlapping movement to the so called "Weimarer Klassik"(classicism), to which Goethe and Schiller belong. Both, Goethe and Schiller, didn't identify with the theory and the poetry of the romanticists at all - on the contrary they fought against the romantic subjectivism and the - from their point of view - exaggerated accentuation of the emotion.
Also Friedrich Hölderlin with his enthusiasm towards the Greek antiquity is not really part of the romantic movement. The prominent members of the German romantic movement were Novalis (=Friedrich von Hardenberg), Friedrich Schlegel, E.T.A Hoffmann, Achim von Arnim, Ludwig Tieck, Joseph von Eichendorff, Clemens Brentano.
:This is a matter of taste and definition. Most authorities regard these poets as Romanticists. If we adopt your rigid definition of the movement, we should eliminate Keats, Burns, Leopardi, Pushkin, Baratynsky, Tyutchev... Neither of these identified himself with the poetics of the romanticists. Many did not like the Byronic subjectivism and commended the detachment of Greek/Roman poetry, imitating poetic forms more conservative than are normally associated with Romanticism. --Ghirla -трёп- 14:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I checked the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It says: "The greatest figure of German Romanticism, Goethe is regarded as a giant of world literature". If I am to chose between "every six-year-old in Germany" and Britannica (which is written by academic scholars), I feel obliged to choose the latter. --Ghirla -трёп- 07:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I don't see why German Wikipedia should be considered a more authoritative source than English Wikipedia or Britannica. --Ghirla -трёп- 10:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't know much about German literature, but Der Erlkönig is as Romantic a poem as you can get. There is nothing "classical" about it. Tieck and Schlegel do not seem to be notable as poets. The article about E.T.A. Hoffmann does not mention that he wrote poems at all, let alone that he was a "major poet" as you put it. It seems to me than your opinions are highly subjective. --Ghirla -трёп- 12:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: what is the difference between a major and a minor poet?
Poe is generally regarded as a pretty poor poet. So what makes him a major poet?

replies: text: I agree too. It should be removed. Plus, when you list poets, what is the policy? Who should be listed and who not? I have added Tagore in Bengal. But, I think, it should be according to language, instead of country. --Amr (talk) 16:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Update Needed

message: How can authors such as Victor Hugo or Baudelaire be considered romantic, when the first belonged to naturalism and the second to symbolism (almost 1 century later!)? They should be removed.--Desyman44 (talk) 19:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I think that the Fireside Poets should be somewhere in here, from what i know they are some of teh most famous American poets ever and they wrote Romantic Poetry.  They were very influential during the American Romantic Period and i think they deserve at least a mention.--TheSchu (talk) 21:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Had to move Elizabeth Barrett Browning from the 'minor poets' list to the 'major poets' list. She was one of the most prominent poets of her time. For references to validate my edit, please check the corresponding Wikipedia page:

message: The third paragraph of the lede is as follows:
*For some critics, the term establishes an artificial context for disparate work and removing that work from its real historical context" at the expense of equally valid themes (particularly those related to politics.)
There is a stray punctuation mark in this sentence: a pair of quotes after "real historical context". Also, the sentence is not grammatically correct. If everything beginning with "removing" is a second verb phrase following the subject ("the term"), then "removing" needs to be changed to "removes". Perhaps someone can figure out what the sentence was supposed to say and fix it. CorinneSD (talk) 22:34, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

message: This article is guilty of false advertising as it only really deals with English Romantic poetry. My moving of the list may be controversial, but I found it distracting and irritating, especially given the long list of non-English writers, who were totally ignored by the body of this article.

message: The article previously at Big six in the romantic literature of England was merged into this one in 2008. At some point in the intervening years the "big six" nomenclature has has been removed from this article. Accordingly, I've retargeted the redirect to List of poetry groups and movements#Nineteenth century (1800-1900), as the only existing article that uses the phrase. But it's an odd situation to have it used there, in what's essentially a summary of this article, and not here, so I'm flagging here in case anyone wants to add back a mention to this article. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:51, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
