Dark Romance: Part 1

My absolute favorite time period is the Dark Romance times ranging from (some say) 1770's until the 1840's.

The way these scholars and artists beautifully applied language and creativity to art and literature created some of the most disturbingly wonderful works known today. "The tales and poems commonly feature outcasts from society, personal torment and uncertainty as to whether the nature of man will bring him salvation or destruction." "The Dark Romantics adapted images of anthropomorphized evil in the form of Satan, devils, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and ghouls."
