Music historians-- what are some examples of 19th century composers/pieces that made use of literature to enhance the expression of their music?

by jarnold162

'Literature' in the form of lyrics, themes, narrative, poetic devices etc.

eg. the use of folklore in an opera to convey nationalism.

(Sorry if this doesn't make much sense)
