This document discusses the influence of the French Revolution on English literature. It provides background on the French Revolution, noting that it sought to change the relationship between rulers and the governed. It then examines how several English writers like William Blake, William Wordsworth, Jane Austen, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley were impacted by and responded to the French Revolution in their works. The Revolution stirred the British people and led to the development of Romantic literature in England as a break from the prior Age of Reason.

1) Legacies of American revolutionAmerica is often called an idea .pdfapoorvikamobileworld
1) Legacies of American revolution
America is often called an idea as much as a place, a clarion call for freedom, independence and
resistance to tyranny. Yet in contrast to the idealism of the Revolution, the freedom granted by
the Constitution remained limited for many years following the Revolution. Women could not
vote, nor could half a million slaves or over a hundred thousand Native Americans. Slavery and
racial segregation remained a political and cultural fault line.
Constitutional amendments have alleviated some of these injustices, and the Constitution of the
United States of America remains the oldest written constitution still in use today, with ideals
that still speak to us. The language of democracy and freedom have informed Western Europe
since the Second World War and remain an enduring legacy of the Enlightenment thought first
put into practice in the North American colonies.
Others documents of that era, such as the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the
Citizen (1789), have had equal influence, but were informed and in part inspired by the
American Revolution, while other revolutions, such as that in Tsarist Russia in 1917, have not
matched the peace and prosperity granted to the citizens of the United States. Other experiments
in federal government, such as the European Union may now provide an alternative model, but it
is one that is in many ways indebted to the ambitions of men of the 1770s.
2) LEGACY OF FRENCH REVOLUTION
At its core, the French Revolution was a political movement devoted to liberty. But what that
liberty actually was and what was required to realize it remained open questions during the
Revolution, as they have ever since. Some historians have suggested that what the
revolutionaries’ liberty meant in practice was violence and a loss of personal security that
pointed to the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. This negative view had its roots in the
ideas of many counter-revolutionaries, who criticized the Revolution from its beginning. These
ideas gained new popularity during the period of reaction that set in after Napoleon’s final defeat
in 1815, when the monarchy and its counter-revolutionary allies were restored to power.
However, the majority of Europeans and non-Europeans came to see the Revolution as much
more than a bloody tragedy. These people were more impressed by what the Revolution
accomplished than by what it failed to do. They recalled the Revolution’s abolition of serfdom,
slavery, inherited privilege, and judicial torture; its experiments with democracy; and its opening
of opportunities to those who, for reasons of social status or religion, had been traditionally
excluded.
One of the most important contributions of the French Revolution was to make revolution part of
the world’s political tradition. The French Revolution continued to provide instruction for
revolutionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries, as peoples in Europe and around the world sought
to realize their di.
This is the Communism which civilisation has always hated, as it hated Christ. Yet it is inevitable; for the cosmical man, the instinctive and elemental man accepting and crowning nature, necessarily fulfills the universal law of nature. As to External Government and Law, they will disappear; for they are only the travesties and transitory substitutes of Inward Government and Order. Society in its final state is neither a monarchy, nor an aristocracy nor a democracy, nor an anarchy, and yet in another sense it is all of these. It is an anarchy because there is no outward rule, but only an inward and invisible spirit of life; it is a democracy because it is the rule of the Mass-man, or Demos, in each unit man; it is an Aristocracy because there are degrees and ranks of such inward power in all men; and it is a Monarchy because all these ranks and powers merge in a perfect unity and central control at last. And so it appears that the outer forms of government which belong to the Civilisation-period are only the expression in separate external symbols of the facts of the true inner life of society.
Where the cosmic self is, there is no more self-consciousness. The body and what is ordinarily called the self are felt to be only parts of the true self, chief object of regard, but consclousaess is continually radiant from it, filling the body and overflowing upon external Nature. Thus the Sun in the physical world is the allegory of the true self. The worshiper must adore the Sun, he must saturate himself with sunlight, and take the physical Sun into himself. Those who live by fire and candlelight are filled with phantoms; their thoughts are Will-o’-th’-wisp-like images of themselves, and they are tormented by a horrible self-consciousness.
The same with the moral powers. As said before, the knowledge of good and evil at a certain point passes away, or becomes absorbed into a higher knowledge. The perception of Sin goes with a certain weakness in the man. As long as there is conflict and division within him, so long does he seem to perceive conflict and opposing principles in the world without. As long as the objects of the outer world excite emotions in him which pass beyond his control, so long do those objects stand as the signals of evil — of disorder and sin. Not that the objects are bad in themselves, or even the emotions which they excite, but that all through this period these things serve to the man as indications of his weakness. But when the central power is restored in man and all things ate reduced to his service, it is impossible for him to see badness in anything. The bodily is no longer antagonistic to the spiritual love, but is absorbed into it. All his passions take their places perfectly naturally, and become, when the occasions arise, the vehicles of his expression.

3. Introduction
•French Revolution, also called
Revolution of 1789, revolutionary
movement that shook France
between 1787 and 1799 and
reached its first climax there in
1789—hence the conventional term
“Revolution of 1789,” denoting the
end of the ancien régime in France
and serving also to distinguish that
event from the later French
revolutions of 1830 and 1848.
•“The Revolution of 1789 hit
England like a thunderbolt. It shook
up the whole social and political
edifice of Britain.”(woods)
4. What was the
French
Revolution?
•●The French Revolution was a
period of major social upheaval
that began in 1787 and ended in
1799. It sought to completely
change the relationship between
the rulers and those they
governed and to redefine the
nature of political power. It
proceeded in a back-and-forth
process between revolutionary
and reactionary forces.
5. Why did the French
Revolution happen?
• There were many reasons. The
bourgeoisie—merchants,
manufacturers, professionals—had
gained financial power but were
excluded from political power.
• Those who were socially beneath they
had very few rights, and most were also
increasingly impoverished.
• The monarchy was no longer viewed as
divinely ordained.
• When the king sought to increase the
tax burden on the poor and expand it to
classes that had previously been
exempt, revolution became all but
inevitable.
7. The
Effects
of
French
Revolution
•Before the French Revolution, Catholicism had been the official
religion of France.
•Nearly all of France’s population had been Catholic, after the
French Revolution France’s churches had lost much of their power.
•The French revolution destroyed the social discriminating class
system in France and declared equality for all. The revolution
produced the equality and career open to talents.
•This revolution led to the declaration of rights of man and citizens.
8. Government under
the Old Regime
Monarch ruled by The Divine Right of
Kings.
•God put the world in motion.
•God put some people in positions
of power.
•Power is given by God.
•No one can question God.
•No one can question someone put
in power by God.
•Questioning the monarchy was
blasphemy because it meant
questioning God.
9.
10. William Blake
• Emphasis was placed upon on
“Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.”
• Attitude towards The Revolution:
he was against authority and
feared government persecution
for his beliefs
• He sympathized with English
radicals like Thomas Pain and
William Goodwin.
• He originally sympathized with
the French revolutionaries, but
the Reign of Terror made him
despise the Revolution.
• Blake was also an artist, and his
paintings express the chaotic and
tumultuous nature of the
revolution.
11. William Wordsworth
•“BLISS WAS IT IN THAT DAWN TO BE ALIVE, BUT TO BE YOUNG WAS
VERY HEAVEN!”
•Famous quote at the beginning of the Revolution expressed his
enthusiasm which did not last long
• The French Captain Michel Beaupuy strongly influenced Wordsworth
in forming political ideals, and his presence was so important to the
young poet that Wordsworth mentions the captain in Book Nine
of The Prelude.
• The young Wordsworth had great hopes for the Revolution, and he
believed that once a republic was firmly in power in France, he and his
contemporaries “should see the people having a strong hand/ In framing
their own laws; whence betters day; To all mankind” (Wordsworth).
12. Jane Austen
• Lived through the American Revolution,
French Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, and
Industrial Revolution.
• Due to the French Revolution, England was
poorly affected politically which made
Austen’s entire life a struggle for survival.
• Although Austen did not directly refer to the
French Revolution in any of her literary
works, the French Revolution did disrupt her
world.
• According to the novel, Jane Austen and the
French Revolution by Warren Roberts,
Robert’s is shocked at the fact that with all of
these hardships in Austen’s life, she did not
directly write about them in any of her works
but did incorporate them indirectly.(Robert)
13. John Keats
• During his life Keats faced many hardships including
being part of the lower class, having poor health, and
limited education.
• Hyperion” and “The Fall of Hyperion” are about Titans’
fall to Olympians, many critics have thought these
works were based off of the French Revolution.
• These show limited evidence that Keat’s was effected
by the Revolution
• “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all ye know on
earth, and all ye need to know” – From Keat’s “Ode on
a Grecian Urn.(Keats)
14. P. B. Shelley
•Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in 1792, the year of the
deposition of Louis XVI and the September massacres in
Paris.
•Shelley’s views were shaped by the French Revolution
and its aftermath, but he came to maturity in a very
different political climate.
• In 1822 Shelley, moved to Italy with Leigh Hunt and
Lord Byron where they published the journal The
Liberal. By publishing it in Italy the three men
remained free from prosecution by the British
authorities. The first edition of The Liberal sold 4,000
copies.
15. Conclusion
•The French Revolution stirred the British
people and affected their literature in a major
way.
•There was a complete break with the Age of
Reason and a new kind of literature known as
the Romantic Revival came into exist with the
publication of Lyrical Ballad (1798).
•Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Byron,
Shelley and Keats were the poets who
specialized in this style of poetry. The prose
literature of the time was illuminated by the
works of Lamb, Hazlitt, De Quincey.
