Before we are able to trace the motives that ushered in Romantic period‚ it is of paramount importance to point out the preceding period‚ which is known as Neo-classical era. The Neoclassical period spans 1600-1798 (the accession of Charles II to the publication by Wordsworth and Coleridge of Lyrical Ballad).
