Hey, you probably know thing! Could you recommend any good romanticism type books? I love the style but don't really know where to start. Thank you!

I’m sorry for taking so long to answer this. Of course I can recommend a few works:

Frankenstein, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley;

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge;

The Count Of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas;

Noite na Taverna, by Álvares de Azevedo;

The Sorrows Of Young Werther, by  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe;

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë;

John Keats’ Complete Poems;

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Complete Poems;

Don Juan, by Lord Byron;

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Other Stories, by Washington Irving;

Edgar Allan Poe’s Complete Works;

Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo;

The Vampyre; A Tale, by John William Polidori;

Lyrical Ballads, by William Wordsworth;

The Flowers Of Evil, by Charles Baudelaire.

A note: To inform, not all of those were strictly Romantic, there are some mentions of authors who were part of Symbolism, the Decadent movement and others. And because I went that far, I’d also recommend you Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, Castro Alves, Arthur Rimbaud and Alexandre Herculano.

//so i learned something in my fairytales class today

the romantic fairytale authors of the early 19th century wrote what was considered "metafiction". that is, they took traditional oral fairytales and used them as their base to write fiction about these fairytales, thus creating a new story.

guys... romantic fairytale authors wROTE THE FIRST FANFICTIONS.
