The English Romantic movement was a reaction against neoclassicism in the 18th and 19th centuries. It valued emotion, imagination, nature, and individualism over reason and rules. Romantic writers were inspired by medievalism, the supernatural, and the French Revolution's ideals of human rights and freedom from oppression. Two Romantic poets, William Blake and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, criticized the social ills of their time like child labor. The movement also emphasized introspection and the gothic. A famous ghost story competition between Romantic writers like Byron and the Shelleys in 1816 led to seminal works including Frankenstein and The Vampyre.

Social Realism - HHS Tamreen
Social Realism depicts the daily struggles of the working class as a reaction to Romanticism. It originated in England and Scandinavia in the 19th century through works of authors like George Eliot and Georg Brandes. Social Realism showed the harsh realities of life for the poor and working classes, in contrast to Romanticism which focused more on beauty, nature, and the human spirit. Many Social Realist artists and writers supported socialist causes to help improve conditions for the working class. Famous examples include works by William Sickert and Frank Holl in England, and Henrik Ibsen's play "A Doll's House."
The puritan movement
The Puritan movement in 16th-17th century England aimed to make society both personally righteous and to increase civil/religious liberty. It grew out of a desire for reform in the Church of England and opposition to despotism. Though begun as a religious movement, it expanded to a national movement supporting resistance to absolute monarchy. Key Puritan leaders like Cromwell and Thomas Hooker advocated for both religious tolerance and the first written constitution establishing democratic government. While some Puritan reforms were extreme, overall the movement was pivotal in establishing liberty and justice in England.
Modernism
Modernism was a predominantly European movement that began in the early 20th century, characterized by a break from traditional aesthetic forms. It started with an exuberant, utopian spirit stimulated by innovations in fields like anthropology and philosophy. Writers like Ezra Pound rejected sentimental Romanticism in favor of precise imagery. Modernist artists represented modern city life, like scenes of Paris cafes and theaters. Modernism began with Baudelaire and Manet and was followed by Impressionists. It remained influential in visual and performing arts even after being seen as ending around 1939.
The Age Of Anxiety
The document summarizes how World War I contributed to major cultural, political, and economic changes in the 1920s. Specifically, it discusses how the war led to the loss of millions of lives, new states in Eastern Europe, the collapse of old empires, the rise of new artistic and scientific ideas rejecting traditional views, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the spread of communism, the global Great Depression, and the rise of totalitarian forms of government in countries seeking strong leadership in the unstable postwar environment.
Victorian Period
The document discusses the Victorian period in Britain through a series of questions and answers. Some key points covered include: the Victorian period was also known as the Machine Age due to the industrial revolution; paintings shifted from depicting Britain's triumphs to its decay; dreams and nightmares became popular themes as they expressed social conditions; religious paintings declined as scientific discoveries questioned biblical teachings; Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection challenged ideas of God's creation; and the 1890s saw increased social scandals and celebration of life as moral restrictions loosened.
Victorian Period
The document discusses how painters during the Victorian period used symbols in their artwork to express ideas and opinions that could not be openly expressed at the time. It describes how John Martin's apocalyptic paintings shocked society by graphically depicting God's punishment, and how this highlighted tensions between religious believers and rationalists. It also explains how paintings focusing on death challenged the church's vision of eternal life by portraying death as inevitable, harsh, and painful, causing internal conflict for people trying to understand the truth. Finally, it asserts that the scientific advances and changes in thinking they brought about revolutionized and ended the Victorian period by completely changing the defining characteristics and mindsets of the time.

The Restoration period in England from 1660-1700 saw significant changes in literature and society following the restoration of the monarchy under King Charles II. Corruption was rampant, as the king had many mistresses and surrounded himself with corrupt courtiers. Two new political parties, the Whigs and Tories, emerged and religious controversies grew between Protestants and Catholics. Charles II was replaced by his brother James II in 1685, though he became unpopular and lost the throne in 1688 due to attempts to establish Catholicism. Literature in this period moved towards neoclassicism, emphasizing reason and strict adherence to rules over subject matter, and imitating the styles of French and classical Greek/Roman writers.

Abstract english literature
- 1. An Introduction to the English Romantic Movement Video reports the characteristics of English literature, influences and principles. A movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries which marked the reaction in literature, philosophy, art, religion, and politics from the neoclassicism and formal orthodoxy of the preceding period. Resulting in part from the libertarian and egalitarian ideals of the French Revolution, the romantic movements had in common only a revolt against the prescribed rules of classicism. The French revolution which was supposed to create a new society in France, creating a model for the world that would lead to the liberation of the human spirit. Romantic poet William Blake and Victorian poet Elizabeth Barrett-Browning both considered child labour a curse of their times. Blake bitterly attacked the social, political, and spiritual abuses and saw the growing need for child labour a threat to their innocence, while Browning's cry gave them voice within society. Blake's views on what he saw as oppression and restriction of rightful freedom extended to the Church. The main features shown in the video related to the period of Romanticism are: Imagination and emotion are more important than reason and formal rules; Romantic literature tends to emphasize a love of nature, a respect for primitivism, and a valuing of the common, "natural" man; Romantics idealize country life and believe that many of the ills of society are a result of urbanization; Romantics were interested in the Medieval past, the supernatural, the mystical, the “gothic,” and the exotic; Romantics were attracted to rebellion and revolution, especially concerned with human rights, individualism, freedom from oppression; There was emphasis on introspection, psychology, melancholy, and sadness. Byron was also the host of the celebrated ghost-story competition involving himself, Percy Bysshe Shelley , Mary Shelley , and John William Polidori at the Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva in the summer of 1816. This occasion was productive of both Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and Polidori's The Vampyre (1819).
