Analysis of the Transformation and Modernity of Post-Romantic

From the beginning to the middle of the 19th century, romantic literature experienced a period of rising to prosperity. In the post-romanticism period, people's understanding of the concept of Romanticism has changed greatly. From the perspective of sociology and literature, post-romanticism is obviously different from the early romanticism. My research analyses the concept of the post-romanticism through the change of romanticism in modern times, sums up the characteristics of the modernity of post-romanticism, and explore the post-romanticism influence on modern literature.
