Item A study of poetic devices in selective poems of romantic poets(UMT, Lahore, 2021) Humna RanaThe aim of this research is to illustrate that romanticism appeared in Europe towards the end of the 18th century and continued into the mid-19th century. The major elements of Romanticism are nature, emotions, and imagination. Nature, with its unbound gloriousness, is an enormous element in the Romantic era. Nature is frequently viewed as something antithetical to the practical. In the Romantic period, the poets used individual experiences and the personal feelings and emotions they associated with the veneration of the surroundings. During the analysis of these selected poems by Wordsworth, John Keats, and William Blake, the researcher assures the reader that poetic language produces depth in poetry and a more vivid feel through the use of different poetic devices. The study explicitly highlights the attributes of the poems that use metaphorical language, poetic devices, and a selection of specific words to convey underlying messages to the readers. For instance, in Keats’s poem, "Ode to Autumn," the poet describes his personal feelings about Autumn and the celebration of the Autumn season by nature. The significance of the project work is to view the primary function of poetic devices in poetry during the time of Romanticism. The aims and objectives of this research are to know the use of poetic devices and their impact on the readers' minds. The use of imagery and poetic devices in the poems of William Wordsworth, William Blake, and John Keats creates a sense of understanding about the poets' abstract ideas. The study investigates the unique elements of poetry in the period of Romanticism, known to be distinctive in using personal feelings and individual experiences of the poets through figurative language and the frequent use of imagery to materialize abstract ideas.
