What kind of literature is most associated with the Romantic period?

  1. Plays

  2. Poetry

  3. Historical Fiction

  4. Nonfiction

The correct answer is: Poetry

Poetry is the correct answer because the Romantic period in literature is characterized by a focus on emotions, individualism, and nature. Plays, historical fiction, and nonfiction were also popular during this time, but they do not fully capture the essence of the Romantic movement like poetry does. Plays rely more on plot and dialogue, while historical fiction and nonfiction may focus more on facts and events rather than emotions and personal experiences.
