Revolution: Romanticism to Realism
Ideas of Romanticism Moving away from reason, concentrating on emotion Focus on the mysterious and supernatural Glorified heroes Promoted radical change and democracy The past as nostalgia
Romanticism Literature Victor Hugo and Wordsworth known Romantics. Struggles of individuals against a hostile society. Celebrated rebellious heroes, love, and the beauty of nature. Gothic Novels also part of the Romantic movement. Commonly had violent or supernatural events associated with them. (Frankenstein & Dracula)
Realism This was an attempt to show life as it is. Shows political importance of the working class and rise of industrialization. An attempt to describe workers’ suffering. Dickens would show despair in London. Photography develops. Daguerreotypes were on metal plates, but William Talbot would expand to using paper.
Impressionists Painters in Paris began to move against this realist style. (Claude Monet & Alfred Sisley) They wanted to give “their” impression of a moment in time. Much more positive than the realists, they tended to show the middle class enjoying leisure-time.
