Monday, March 12, 2012• Quiet Question: Type Two Prompt and working with a partner---

During the Industrial Revolution poets belonging to the Literati and artists took up the plight of the working class and children using the genres of Romanticism and Realism to capture the horrors, desperation, and exploitation and bring it to the attention of the middle class and the government.

• For this Type Two Prompt, you are to:• Read over the included poems: “The Cry of the Children”, “The

Chimney Sweeper” from Songs of Innocence, “The Chimney Sweeper” from Songs of Experience, “Tyger”, “London”, and “The Railway Train”.

• Then in the space provided, identify lines from the poem that directly tie in to at least THREE different aspects you learned about in the last lesson from the Annotated Illustrations and explain the relationship.

• Be specific…do not just write urbanization, but identify what specific aspects of urbanization and examine the relationship between your historical notes and the poetry.

• Identify THREE lines from the poetry that directly tie into THREE different aspects you learned about in the last lesson and explain the connections:

• Identify Which Poem Which Aspect Identified Connectionsa) b) c)

• Romanticism:• Rise of the individual alienation• Focus on idea of hero• Dehumanization of industrialization• Strove for freedom---Political freedom--American and French

Revolution(liberty, equality, fraternity); antislavery and women’s suffrage movements

• Represented common people• Focus and use of emotion• Reaction against Industrial Revolution• Simple language• Focus on nature• For some, on the other hand, the new age of industry and

technology was itself exotic and exciting.• Many romantic artists identified with the nationalist

movements of the times and either supported their own country's fight for freedom (as in the case of Verdi) or championed the cause of others (as did Byron).

• 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• Influenced by science, reaction to Romanticism• Stresses commonplace life & brutal nature of man• Purpose was to identify the problems of society to the

higher classes to motivate reform
