Abstract

The formation of a new political system and the establishment of a new regime in a country cannot be separated from the joint efforts of the masses of different classes. For example, the French Revolution in 1788 is a typical example. As an important milestone in the history of the French revolution, this revolution overthrew the rule of the Bourbon Dynasty, promoted the transformation of France from the feudal autocratic monarchy system to the emerging capitalist system, and formally embarked on the journey of developing modern France. But it was not for nothing that the revolution was able to take shape, develop and eventually flourish in France, and exert an indispensable influence on the world. On the surface, the emergence of this revolution is to meet the French people’s dissatisfaction with the corrupt rule of the feudal dynasty and the cruel oppression of people and hope to change all this through violent means, as well as conform to the trend of The Times that the capitalist system has developed in the global scope. However, at a deeper level, the French Revolution was based on certain ideas. The author finds that romanticism, which arose in France in the late Middle Ages, played an important role in its development. This paper will make an in-depth analysis of the full display of this kind of thoughts in the poetry texts of different themes of the period and the dissemination process with the help of different media, to explore the relationship between the two and the role of the romantic thoughts reflected in the poetry of this period in the formation of the French Revolution.
