These descriptions of nature, that are similar to a number of emotions that are expressed by the characters, helps to depict Frankenstein as one of the greatest Romantic novel of its time.

Many of the main ideas of Romanticism can be seen in "Frankenstein".

Ethics of science. Can a scientist claim to be the Creator of life on Earth?  Can he control and develop what he has created? Mary Shelley believes that a person is not ready for this role.

 We see how the image of a person who "hides the meaning of his being", which is very characteristic of romanticism, becomes tragic.

We can talk about the traditional duality of romanticism - the conceptual and artistic unity of images of Victor and the Monster.  Also images of Victor and Walton along the lines of obsession with science and images of Victor and Clerval along the lines of humanitarian

Nature. Mary Shelley describes nature in a truly Romantic way.

Some ideas of romantism we can find in Austen’s comparisons of towns and streets. They are important and show the inner atmosphere of the novel and its characters. For example, at Kellynch, we find a respectable titled family as well as a changing social order; at Uppercross, we find the happiness of an unpretentious wealthy family; at Lyme, we find life amid impressive nature and the fruits and dangers that it offers; and at Bath, we see all worlds converge. As I said before, streets and place are also assigned social importance: Camden Place and Laura Place in Bath are very respectable, for example, while the Westgate Buildings are not. The novel also suggests, however, that such fragmentation is superficial and can be reconciled by a mind with superior sensibilities.

Walter Scott's work can be described as groundbreaking. He expanded the boundaries of the novel, describing the history, estates, and life of the entire country. Turning to history, W. Scott always pays a lot of attention to people; he is interested in their fate, and he makes the people and their individual representatives heroes of their novels.  Scott deeply understood the historical role of popular movements.

Scott's hisorism, his ethnicity and humanism, his desire for an objective depiction of historical processes and the disclosure of the regularity of their origin - all this determines the significance of his work.

One of his most important works is a historical novel called Ivanhoe. This is a romantic story about the adventures of a knight, which concerns political, national, and religious conflicts.
Romantic traits: a special attention to the inner world of the hero; unusual in the depiction of landscapes, events, circumstances; characteristically mystical perception.

The problems of the novel: the struggle for independence, power; the unification of the country; love, honor, treason, faith, and loyalty.

Like all of Jane Austen's novels, Emma is a novel of courtship and social manners. The majority of the book focuses on the question of marriage: who will marry whom and for what reasons will they marry: love, practicality, or necessity? At the center of the narration is the title character, Emma Woodhouse, a heiress who lives with her widowed father at their estate, Hartfield. Noted for her beauty and cleverness, Emma is somewhat wasted in the small village of Highbury but takes a great deal of pride in her matchmaking skills. Unique among other women her age, she has no particular need to marry: she is in the unique situation of not needing a husband to supply her fortune.
