The Industrial Revolution Little to nothing was done to solve the problems of the impoverished/lower classes Laissez Faire Let the people do what they want, no government involvement Deplorable working conditions No child labor laws Low wages and unsafe conditions

What is Romanticism In England, writers revolted against the order, propriety and traditionalism of the Age of Reason Lyrical Ballads launched this period in England Emotion was more important than reason Relationship with nature was a primary concern

Isolationism/Individualism Strong feelings of being alone in the world Always searching but never finding satisfaction or comfort Feeling that you alone have experienced a great emotional drain Feeling that no one can ever understand your thoughts or situation.

Worship of Nature Enormous re-interest in nature No interest to understand, rationalize, reason, or explain nature Desire to merely experience, enjoy, relax in, be a part of, relate to it.
