Google NGRAM
This is a great tool that lets you discover culture evolutions by looking at the words used in books since 1500.

Try typing the terms “Originality, Authenticity, Writer’s block, and Romantic” to see how they relate chronologically (make sure your selected time period is 1500-1999 so you get a wider look).
