'The Industrial Revolution and the outcome of sentimentalistism The Industrial Revolution was a detail of time during the 18th century originating in europium that resulted in major socio-economic and cultural changes around the world. These changes in part gave inception to the English Romantic spirit, peculiarly in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdoms economic placement of manual labor shifted toward a system of weapon manufacturing, resulting in the conventionation of factories and, therefore, modern cities.It excessively gave rise to the middle and working sievees, aerating more employment opportunities plainly severely reducing the quality of living for those working, specially those in factories. This wrongful oppression brought on by the manipulation of the impoverished resulted in an intellectual and about political movement known as Romanticism. Romantic artisans and authors used their work to communicate the suffering of the pile living in the newly indus trialized world, and depict imagined worlds of bag and perfection as a form of escape from the harshness that surrounded them.One such artist was William Wordsmith. In his rime â€Å"l Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” Wordsmith uses nature as a form of escapism from the Industrial Revolution. He describes the beauty of a multitude of daffodils and the happiness it brought him. â€Å"And then my feeling with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. ” The mere thought of the perfect and placid environment continues to make him apt and makes him forget of the tremendous surroundings he lives in.This type of escapism was well-received, allowing a similar feeling to emanate in others who suffered the scourge of the Industrial Revolution. The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake is a two part poem that analyzes the innocence of baby bird laborers during the Industrial Revolution and widens the manipulation of authoritarian powers. Blake also used escapism to co ntrast the bleak humankind of industrialized Europe to the beautiful world that was promised to those who adjust up with working in fatal conditions. And the paragon told Tom, if hed be a good boy, Hed have theology for his father & never want Joy. ” This excerpt from â€Å"Songs of honor” shows the lies that the children were fed in order to keep them pliable ND trusting.

The government activity uses the trusted concept of God to force those at a lower place them to work and produce goods for them that will make them richer. This poem raised more questions about the effects and honest state of child labor and lead to the eventual(prenominal) imposition of child labor laws. Another author, doubting Thomas Hardy, exemplifies the effects of the formation of the working classes on the honest person in his poem â€Å"The Ruined Maid. In the poem, a prostitute and her former acquaintance, a lowly farmer, discuss their ruined states, despite the former look and acting more sophisticated and well-endowed compared to her precedent appearance and attitude as a farmer. mirror hands were like paws then, your face blue and bleak, and now Im bewitched by your delicate week… ” The harlots friend compares her new appearance to what she used to be, anticipate shes become more successful, and she believes that shes been ruined, a public opinion that she repeatedly expresses throughout the poem.This showcases her distorted perception of reality, believe she has it worse than her hard-wo rking friend, when, in fact, the two live in about the same conditions and are both â€Å"ruined. ” In many flairs, the emergence of Romanticism was a response to the effects of the Industrial Revolution. The writings and artwork of many 19th century intellectuals ND artists were created as a revolt against the inhumane treatment of low class citizens and the unnatural transformation of the environment.They used escapism and imagination to provide a beautiful environment that was funny in the reality of the industrialized world and to expose the unjust effects that this new mechanized way of life had on not only the environment, but the people. These artists used the Romantic Spirit to instill a sense of hope within the oppressed and be that the thoughts of individuals can inspire and fight against the majority, eventually approach out on top.\r\n'
