7. Romanticism:
Rise of the individual  alienation

Strove for freedom---Political freedom--American and French Revolution(liberty, equality, fraternity); antislavery and women’s suffrage movements

Focus and use of emotion
Reaction against Industrial Revolution

For some, on the other hand, the new age of industry and technology was itself exotic and exciting.

8. Realism:
Depicts life with absolute honesty
Ordinary life
Did not use emotional language
Specific & verifiable details vs. sweeping generalities
Vivid picture of life as poor but also using humor to show humanity
Value impersonal, photographic accuracy vs. interpretation

Stresses commonplace life & brutal nature of man
Purpose was to identify the problems of society to the higher classes to motivate reform
