Abstract: Romanticism, the Romantics, the Romantic Movement are terms that have been used to describe and represent English poets and writers who wrote their works between 1780 and 1830 approximately. These writers and poets have been acclaimed throughout England and rest of the world until today. Their voices have become more and more popular and represent the famous and canonical English Romantic Movement in literature. English poets such as William Blake, Samuel Coleridge, William Wordsworth, among others, never knew they were going to be called the Romantics – the term Romantics appears sixty years after their deaths. At the same time, the Brontë sisters and Jane Austin as well as many other women writers in this period were writing their novels which became universally famous after their deaths and which were never intended to be published. The topics that they tackled, such as power, ideology, gender and oppression were all covered under the name of the Romantics or Romanticism. The aim of this paper is to subvert and reconceptualise the discourse that power implemented in order to place them under the category of English Romantics and to analyse their works through the concept of discourse developed by Michel Foucault who attempts to ‘constitute a new political ethic which challenges the institutional regime of the production of truth’. Key words: power, ideology, oppression, revolution, romanticism
