When, from 1783 to 1786, John Marsh lived on his estate at Nethersole between Margate and Canterbury, dinner engagements and concerts had to be arranged for the second and third quarters of the moon so that people could find their way home.

 ArtLex on Romanticism
In England the Romantic tradition began with Henry Fuseli (Swiss-English, 1741-1825) and William Blake (1757-1827), and culminated with Joseph M. Turner (1775-1851) and John Constable (1776-1837).
In his native Switzerland, Fuseli studied to be a priest, and then came to London in the 1760s to study writers of 'genius', such as Shakespeare and Milton.
Born in Switzerland, of Swiss and German parents, Fuseli migrated to Berlin in 1763, where his illustrations of Shakespearean themes caught the attention of the British ambassador, who convinced him to visit England.

At ten years old, he began engraving copies of drawings of Greek antiquities, a practice that was then preferred to real-life drawing.
Blake seems to have believed, or rather hoped, that self-published books could liberate the artist and author from the tyranny of censorship by Church and State but its time-consuming nature meant that his most personal and prophetic works reached a minute audience in his lifetime.
William Blake died in 1827 and was buried in an unmarked grave at Bunhill Fields, London, England.
