How the Romantics Understood Poetic Individualism and Universal Human Experience: "Poetry cannot escape the poet. No art evades its artist for the two are forever joined; art is the subjective response of its creator. The beauty of this individualism releases the author to fashion his uniqueness on an empty canvas. The Romantics emphasized a similar kind of poetic individualism, an individualism that formed the foundation of their expression."
