English Literature | Romanticism: main features, social context and key concepts

Also called the "Age of Revolutions", the Romantic period (19th century) was deeply infuenced by political, social and economical events (American and French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Agricultural and Transport Revolution, social unrests, Adam Smith's work, Rousseau's philosophy...), developing a large and multifaceted movement, whose currences involved Literature and Arts throughout Europe. In this video the main concepts and the most important features of the movement are displayed in a large resume that includes the main theme of Nature as a source of inspiration for the Poet whoapproaches it as an "organic living whole". The independence of the artist is also explained, together with the image of the "poet prophet", whose perspective was based on imagination, subjectivity and symbolism. Burke's idea of "beautiful" and "sublime" is associated with some of the poets of the first generation (Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge) and of the second generation (Lord Byron, P.B. Shelley, Keats), while their works are also considered in connection with a social attitude of criticism towords the Industrial Revolution and its negative consequences on nature and on the human being.. Fiction is also mentioned, together with the new image of the writer as a professional who needs to "sell" a new product, thus a new debate about "good and bad literature" has been developed throughout the centuries. Some important novelists of the time are briefly introduced, like for example Ann Radcliffe with her Gothic works, Jane Austen with her Novel of Manners and Mary Shelley with her Science Fiction. -------------------------- Playlist English Literature:    • English Literature | The rise of the novel...   Hashtag: #englishliterature #literature #literaryhelp #romanticism #romance #books #reading #bookstagram #book #poetry #library ------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA and CONTACTS: Instagram: @sara_albanese_ita - https://bit.ly/2HatMB0 Facebook: Scripta Manent - Sara Albanese - https://bit.ly/2AFLHKj Twitter: @SaraAlbanese_IT - https://bit.ly/2RHUsNr Official Website: Sara Albanese - https://bit.ly/2M4K510 E-Mail: [email protected] -------------------------- For DONATIONS to Ad Maiora with PAYPAL ([email protected]): https://www.paypal.me/albanesesara -------------------------- 🔔Subscribe to Ad Maiora🔔 https://shorturl.at/coqS6 Make sure to enable ALL push notifications! -------------------------- Chi sono: Sara Albanese, nata a Treviso nel 1982, si è laureata presso la Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere dell’Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, diventando poi Docente di Lingua e Letteratura Tedesca ed Inglese, scrittrice, traduttrice e mediatrice linguistica.
