__TOC__
Literature of the 19th century refers to world literature produced during the 19th century. The range of years is, for the purpose of this article, literature written from (roughly) 1799 to 1900. Many of the developments in literature in this period parallel changes in the visual arts and other aspects of 19th century culture.
In Germany, the "Sturm und Drang" period of the late 18th century merges into a Classicist and Romantic period, epitomized by the long era of Goethe's activity, covering the first third of the century. The conservative "Biedermeier" style conflicts with the radical "Vormärz" in the turbulent period separating the end of the Napoleonic wars from the Revolutions of 1848.
In Britain, the 19th century is dominated by the Victorian era, characterized by Romanticism, with Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth, Lord Byron or Samuel Taylor Coleridge and genres such as the gothic novel and the fashionable novel.
In the later 19th century, Romanticism is countered by Realism and Naturalism. The late 19th century, known as the "Belle Époque", with its "Fin de siècle" retrospectively appeared as a "golden age" of European culture, cut short by the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
