• C. Revolutionary age
• D. Essay impressionist age

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Romantic age

William Wordsworth, with the help of his friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge, launched the Romantic Age in English literature through the publication of Lyrical Ballads in 1798. This marked a major literary shift, focusing on emotion, nature, individualism, and imagination, moving away from the reason and order of the earlier Neoclassical period.
