Abstract

The English Romantic period embraced the exotic, mysterious, and sublime, drawing inspiration from Eastern literature, including works from Persia, Arabia, India, and China. This article explores how key Romantic poets, such as Coleridge, Byron, and Shelley, incorporated Eastern motifs - mysticism, exotic landscapes, and the "Other" - into their poetry and prose.
