You're now the new curator for a newsletter and have been invited by Professor Eckert to give an academic lecture on the influence of 19th-century poetry in shaping modern English sonnets. You need to discuss how the Romantic period influenced the themes, language, and form found within the works of William Blake, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. For each poet or author mentioned, provide an in-depth analysis of their respective contributions to this literary movement including at least 2 major thematic preoccupations present in their work that connect with the Romantic ethos. In your response, include a brief biographical note about each writer's personal and political context which shaped their works. Also, analyze how these poets were influenced by or reacted to earlier literary movements like Enlightenment Rationalism of the 18th Century, French Symbolists, and German Idealism, as well as any notable contemporaries such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, and Percy Shelley. Additionally, discuss how the Romantic movement's focus on emotion, nature, and individualism influenced the language and forms in English poetry during that era. Finally, compare these poets with their direct predecessors, like Petrarch and John Donne, to underscore their distinctive literary strategies while also including an analysis of how they adopted or challenged established norms on poetics and form.

As a renowned expert in literature, you are tasked with writing a comprehensive essay that explores the profound influence of Romanticism not only as a mere historical period but more importantly, as an evolutionary literary phenomenon that transcended its contemporaneous cultural and socio-political confines. Your analysis should weave together three key areas: their use of language to evoke emotion in their works, the interplay between the personal lives of these poets (including but not limited to educational or romantic backgrounds) and their contributions to themes of individualism and nature, as well as a comparative evaluation with at least two other Romantic poets. The essay must also provide an annotated comparison on how French Symbolists and German Idealism diverged in their approach to these areas; you should illustrate these differences using direct quotations from works by Blake, Bysshe Shelley, or Keats as case studies. Additionally, include a reflection of the socio-political context that provided fertile ground for the Romantic movement's emergence and its eventual disbandment post the French Revolution period; you must reference at least three historically significant events to eluce your analysis.
