During the Romantic era, western Europe faced many difficult radical life changes. Humans fell to technology, faster and larger quanities were needed. Therefore products began to be massed produced with machines. Hence, the industry world began to take over by technology. Most lower class children were seen as a burden. The children were used as laborers and literally worked to death. Land was being lost and people were out of control. Many famous pieces of work exploring the psychological and mysterious aspects of human life were written and published during the transition. Such as Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, Grimm's Fairly Tales, Brothers Grim, and William Blake, Songs of Innocence. A strong vibe behind the words of these writers. Words flowing in as if from a stream with a vibe described; there is nature, and there are human beings to experience nature. Writers in this time, also wrote about connecting to the inner piece, the imagination. And the imagination is a way of desire, a motive which drives the mind to learn and know things it can not learn by rational or logical thinking.
Beginning in the last decades of the 18th century, Romanticism transformed poetry, the novel, drama, painting, sculpture, all forms of concert music, especially opera, and ballet. It was deeply connected with the politics of the time, echoing people's fears, hopes, and aspirations. Romanticism was more widespread both in its origins and influence. It was the voice of revolution at the beginning of the 19th century.
Society was still getting over the aftermath of the Restoration, or the Eighteenth Century. Poems and pieces of Literature helped push more and more people through times of hurt. These writers became legends in the world of words.
