I have to tell you that I am not a huge, huge fan of the Romantic period. I like more direct language and I struggle to have to re-read what I have read for it to sink in. Now, I am a smart cookie about things, but this language usage does throw me for a loop some of the time. I have enjoyed reading about Mary Shelley's life and how Frankenstein came to life. I did not love the "Ancient Maniner"
Reading works of this time have such a sense of darkness and depression. Reading their hardships give my reading mind a foggy grey feeling of sadness for the people of these works.
