It summarizes some of the major works and contributions of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Byron to English Romantic poetry.
Realism
The document summarizes Realism, the first major art movement of the modern period from 1848-late 1800s. It rejected Romanticism in favor of depicting ordinary people and contemporary life realistically and accurately, including the unpleasant aspects, through techniques like close observation of modern subjects. Major Realist artists included Courbet, who declared Realism through his independent exhibitions, and Manet, whose Realist works shocked audiences by depicting modern life and ordinary people. Realism developed alongside trends in photography, which allowed for realistic depictions, and literary Naturalism.
Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism was a return to classical models and values from ancient Greece and Rome between the 17th-18th centuries. It emphasized rationality, order, and moderation. Key figures like John Dryden established English literary criticism. Alexander Pope's Essay on Criticism outlined neoclassical principles. Samuel Johnson's works like Lives of the Poets and Dictionary helped define the English literary canon based on neoclassical ideals of reason and morality.
Introduction to romanticism
Romantics stressed the individual creativity and the freedom to innovate. Romanticism focussed on the use of creative imagination and the importance of myth and symbolism
Pre- Raphaelites
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters and poets founded in 1848 who aimed to reject dramatic and stylized academic painting styles of the time. They sought to emulate the art of pre-Renaissance painters through accurate depictions of nature, medieval culture and religious subjects. Key characteristics included bright colors, intricate detail, sincerity and moral messages. The founders' goal was to transmit messages of artistic renewal and moral reform through works emphasizing personal responsibility over dogma.
The Aesthetic Movement
The Aesthetic Movement focused on language of the senses, excessive attention to the self, and hedonism. Artists like Gautier and Pater believed that art should be appreciated solely for its beauty, rejecting moral or social messages. They sought intense sensation and lived unconventional lives focused on art, beauty, and pleasure. Walter Pater argued that life should be lived and experienced intensely through one's senses like a work of art, without reference to conventional morality. Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray explores these themes through a young man whose beauty and hedonism are preserved while his portrait ages in his place.

Literature reflected both the promise and challenges of this time of rapid transition and change in English society.

It emphasized emotion, subjectivity, and the individual over reason. Romantic artists and writers celebrated nature, medieval chivalry, and the individual spirit.

Romanticism Powerpoint
Romanticism was a literary and artistic movement between 1770-1870 that valued emotion, nature, imagination, and the individual. Key aspects included emphasizing feelings over reason, seeing nature as a divine work of art, using symbolism and myth, and focusing on the passions of both artists and romantic heroes who strive for the extraordinary. Romanticism criticized rigid social norms and industrialization, instead promoting intuition and a close connection between humans and the natural world.

However, financial difficulties led him to anonymously write historical novels like Waverley, which established the genre. His most famous novel, Ivanhoe, was set during the time of Richard I and featured themes of chivalry and religious persecution.

Evidence indicates he wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets before retiring to Stratford in 1613, where he died three years later.
