BRIEF OVERVIEW OF PERIOD • Does not mean love • Features of Romanticism included passion, imagination, outlandish landscapes, journeys ad dreams. • The era known as the Industrial Revolution was a period in which fundamental changes occurred in agriculture, textile and metal manufacture, transportation, economic policies and the social structure in England. The changes that occurred during this period (1760-1850), in fact, occurred gradually. • A process that continues as industrialisation The onset of the Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in human society; almost every aspect of daily life was eventually influenced in some way. Technological advancement
PARADIGM 1.SCIENCE • Romanticism, also known as the “Age of Reflexion,” describes the intellectual movement from 1800-1840 Romanticism incorporated many fields of study, including art, music, poetry and drama, paintings, and philosophy, yet it also had a major impact in sciences of the 19th century. • Various disciplines on the study of nature that were cultivated by Romanticism included: Schelling’s Naturphilosophie; cosmology developmental history of the earth and its creatures; • the new science of biology; investigations of mental states, conscious and unconscious, normal and abnormal; • experimental disciplines to uncover the hidden forces of nature – electricity, magnetism, galvanism and other life-forces; physiognomy, phrenology, meteorology, mineralogy, ‘philosophical’ anatomy, among others.
Paradigm 2. Religion • One of the most complex developments during this period is the transformation of religion into a subject for artistic treatment far removed from traditional religious art. • But during the Romantic era many of them were drawn to religious imagery in the same way they were drawn to Arthurian or other ancient traditions in which they no longer believed. • Religion was exercised, and writers felt free to draw on Biblical themes with the same freedom as their predecessors had drawn on classical mythology, and with as little reverence.
