Romantic and Victorian Poetry...

1. An historical event that took place before The Romantic Period is the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial revolution was a period that occurred in the late 18th to the early 19th century. This revolution was a wide spread of industrial and agricultural advances. It started within Europe, then spread through out North America, then gradually flourished all over the world. The revolution was mainly a time where all man powered labor was taken over by machines, and everything was then produced in factories.


Around this time a new found sense of "Nationalism" was fathered by the impact of Romanticism. People felt empowered by others to publicly express themselves about their feelings about the right or wrong doings of their leaders, and followers.

Life for the on lookers was proposed with a few options, stay unaffected and watch, search for a factory job, or join the bandwagon and express yourself with your home land.
