Question

“The Romantic Era” is the first unit in this course that has featured literature in prose form (novels). Today, fiction is the most popular form of literature, and romantic poetry especially is said to appeal to a broader audience than the poetry of earlier eras. As a reader, do you feel this is true? How accessible do you find the literature of the romantic era? Which texts were more accessible than others? What about these texts made them easier to comprehend and/or enjoy?

Answer 1

Answer 2

As a reader, fiction is both the easiest accessible and most enjoyable genre to read. Though romantic poetry is the most commonly enjoyed poetry, it is nowhere near the most popular genre. This is most likely due to the way poetry is designed. Its intention is to make you think and form your own opinion on what you have read. (seeing as poetry is never read the same way twice) Alternatively, not everyone enjoys romantic pieces. However, fiction is a much more broad genre with more options. This means it could be at various reading levels, or be something much more lighthearted. Children and young adults are more likely to read fiction. Because of this, fiction would be both easier to comprehend, and more accessible.
