    Common Characteristics
     
    Themes: Both British and American Romantic - period poetry focus on the expression of individual emotions. Poets pour out their joys, sorrows, and longings, emphasizing the importance of personal feelings. Also, they hold nature in high - esteem. Nature is regarded as a source of spiritual comfort, inspiration, and a symbol of the divine. For example, William Wordsworth in British poetry and Henry David Thoreau in American poetry both have works filled with praise for nature.
     
    Application of Images: They commonly use natural images. Mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees are frequently employed to convey emotions. Additionally, imaginative images are used to create a sense of wonder and fantasy, reflecting the romantic spirit of breaking away from the mundane.
     
    Differences
     
    Themes: British Romantic poetry may be more influenced by its long - standing historical and cultural traditions. It might explore themes related to the nation's past, class relations, etc. In contrast, American Romantic poetry often incorporates the spirit of the frontier and the pursuit of freedom in the New World. It reflects the unique American experience of exploration and the building of a new nation.
     
    Application of Images: American Romantic poetry may make use of images specific to the New World, such as the vast prairies, wild west landscapes, which symbolize freedom and new beginnings. British Romantic poetry, on the other hand, may delve deeper into traditional images, endowing them with more historical and cultural connotations.
