which of these results of the industrial revolution most influenced authors of the romantic period?
please help me
The age of reason , dominated by the ideas of Newton and the rationalist philosophers, had created the vision and hope of a new world in which science and technology would solve man's economic problems, while at the same time the well-ordered society would give man equality and justice. Science and rationalism promised a new Golden Age. The reality did not match the dream. The final outcome of the Age of Reason was a twofold upheaval --firstly, the French Revolution with its aftermath of terror and then new restrictions of individual freedom under Napoleon, and secondly, the Industrial Revolution which destroyed the old familiar patterns of living and in its early phase created visual squalor and social injustice. Because of the mechanistic age that threatened to swamp individual freedom and imagination, there followed among artist and other creative individuals an anti-scientific movement or reaction which had already been expressed in the Romantic philosophy of Jean-Jaques Rousseau (1712-1778). He believed that science and virtue were incompatible and praised the beauty of unspoilt nature. Rousseau held that man is born naturally good, and is only corrupted by institutions. His was a different vision of the Golden Age --one in which man retained the freedom of the 'noble savage' and the innocence of childhood. The supemacy of nature over man's invention and human heroism; the inevitability of death--these became the tragic emotional themes of the Romantic movement. Romanticism dominated all the atrs in the early 19th century--literature, music and visual expression. I found its most powerful expression in Germany in the writing of Goethe and Schiller, and in England in the poetry of Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Coleridge and Keats, as well as in the work of other novelists. Romantic painting was often based on literature, Eugene Deacroix (1798-1863), free hand style of painting, another link between the Venetians and Impressionism. And there was Gercault (1791-1824) Hore Frightened by Lightning , a liberal opposed to restoration of the monarchy, was a man of great sensitivity and passion. There was Francisca Goya (1746-1828), caught up with the tragedy of Spain. England was free of wars, English romantism turned in two directions, one to a revival of medieval art and legend and to themes of nature, Turner (1775--1851) and Constable (1776--1837). Turner an admirer of Claude was obsessed by the dynamics and elements of nature, in many of his paintings he reflects the heroic by puny struggles of man, against the titanic forces of nature. Constable was influence by new technology and the new science of meteorology, which led him to make an analytical cloud formations, ignored the realities of the Industrial Revoltion, and painted nature with the same purity of form which characterises Wordsworth's poetry.
