WHAT ROMANTICISM IS ALL ABOUT In many ways, Romanticism was a rebellion against
the neoclassicism/classical period
The emphasis of Romanticism is individualism, imagination, free expression of feeling, communion with nature, and the idea of the creative artist as a visionary genius
The arts were seen by some as the highest form of human endeavor
WHAT ROMANTICISM IS ALL ABOUT Inspired by the French Revolution
Took place from 1789-1799 and affected history worldwide
The French people took their country back The bourgeoise fought to destroy the aristocracy Rising prices, a poor tax system, and large debts (the country was vitually
bankrupt) had people very angry with the country’s leaders Other factors: resentment of privileges possessed by the nobility, resentment
of the Catholic Church’s influence over public policy, aspirations for freedom of religion, aspirations for social, political, and economic equality, etc.
Represented in the musical/opera Les Miserables that we’ll watch in a few weeks.
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY 1800s
The Textile IndustryThe British textile industry was revolutionized to the point
where one worker with a machine could do as 4-5 people had previously accomplished
More cotton could be planted in the southern US, and more cotton could be processed courtesy of Eli Whitney’s Cotton Gin (did the work of 12 slaves)
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY The early 1800s saw wide experimentation with
sources and uses of energy
Gas was now used as fuel and for illuminationGas was replaced by electricity before the century was over
The steam engine undertook a new more energy-efficient designLed to internal combustion engines
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY By the mid 19th century, the world’s transportation
system had undergone a complete revolution
Steam engines ran sawmills, printing presses, pumping stations, and hundreds of other kinds of machinery
Electricity was popular in the urban centers by the late 1800s
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY Electricity was able to be harnessed
Electrical energy was gradually applied to heating, lighting, and mechanical energy
The incandescent light bulb was created
Electric-powered street cars rendered horses obsolete by 1888
By 1895, Niagara Falls had been harnessed for hydroelectric power
By the end of the century, the Western world was fully mechanized
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY Mining production increased with the invention of new
explosives
In America, the production of steel made iron obsolete
With steel came the invention of the suspension bridgesMost famous – Brooklyn BridgeThe Brooklyn Bridge was designed based on the suspension
bridge in Cincinnati Ohio
Roebling Suspension Bridge – Cincinnati, OH
Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, NY
HISTORY – THE AGE OF INDUSTRY Food distribution increased with the development of ice
cabinets the size of railroad cars and improved ice related tools
Pasteurization was discovered, which eliminated a lot of milk-borne diseases
The canning industry increased with the invention of hermetic sealing
PEOPLE WERE HEALTHIER BECAUSE OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS
SOCIAL CHANGES
SOCIAL CHANGES The Industrial Revolution began in Britain and spread
to France and the rest of Europe in 1815By 1871, major industrial centers were established all over
Europe
Coal and iron gave Britain, Germany, France, and Belgium the lead in the European industry
However, vast resources of coal, iron, and other raw materials, more than all Europe had, propelled the US into a position of economic dominance
SOCIAL CHANGES Wealth increased enormously
The principal effect of industrialization was to centralize economic control
Populations grew as the mortality rate went down
A new call of machine workers, “blue-collar workers,” emerged.
SOCIAL CHANGES The new machine-worker class lived and worked in
deplorable conditions
They were basically slaves (with minimal pay)
They were subject to severe organizing restrictions, hampered by lack of education, and threatened constantly by the prospect of unemployment
The middle class, caught up in their own aspirations of wealth and power, ignored them
UNIONS Gradually, and not without bloodshed, workers
acquired the right to form unions
In the second half of the century, laborers began to unionize and promote their own interests
SOCIAL CHANGES The middle class turned towards Liberalism
Liberalism: a political program dedicated to advancing religious toleration and reducing the authority of a dominant Church
Part of the middle-class program was a laissez-faire approach – “Let people do as they please.”
SOCIAL CHANGES A new code of morality stressed individual freedom
The “free man” became the model of what one could achieve only by standing on one’s own feet and creating one’s own destinyLincoln abolishes slavery in the US in 1863
Individual freedom was achieved by struggle and eventual triumph
EDUCATION Only in Prussia was there a public school system that
provided mass educationPrussia – currently parts of Germany
Britain and France offered public education starting in the 1870s
In the US, local support for public education began as early as the 1820sElementary education was not offered until the end of the
19th century
SCIENTIFIC CHANGES
SCIENCE Scientific attention turned to investigating the atom
and formulating theories of evolution
In 1859, Charles Darwin put forward the concept of natural selection as the explanation of species development in “The Origin of Species”
Evolution was established as the framework that the science of biology would use for the foreseeable future
SCIENCE There was a clash between Christianity and evolution
Protestant denominations were able to come to grips with the principles of evolution easier than the CatholicsProtestants recognized the right of individuals to make
private judgments, while Catholics had to accept doctrinal control
This will all cause a shift to SECULAR subjects in the arts
THE INDIVIDUALFrustration and Individualism
INTERNATIONALISM Time were full of turbulence and frustration
Feelings of isolation and alienation increased
The suffering, isolated, sensitive youth became the romantic hero
Escape to “Utopia” was a common goal
Nature was viewed as a completely free environment in which all emotions could be freely expressed
PATRONAGE For the first time, art could exist without the support of
significant aristocratic and religious commissions and patronage
Artists deliberately resisted patronage, which imposed unwelcome limits on individual expression
Much art became individualistic and increasingly critical of society and its institutions
PATRONAGE Artists tried out increasingly personal and experimental
techniques
Many artists became the social outcasts, the starving Romantic heroes, of public legend Their story is told in the opera La Boheme (the Bohemiams) –
poets, painters, philosophers, musicians You’ll look at this opera tomorrow (the musical “Rent” is based
on it)
The “bohemiam lifestyle” remains a phrase that connotes such a way of living
LA BOHEME VS. RENT Tomorrow I will not be here because I will be at a
funeralMrs. Pipes will be your sub – BE GOOD!
You’ll be looking at the plots of the opera “La Boheme” and the musical “Rent.” You’ll have a compare and contrast activity to complete.
