Link to original song Lyrics to the Parody: There's atrocities on Third Estate and storming of the Bastille too, Execution of Louis XVI in late 18th century. Industrialisation led to depopulated country sides, Increase in pollution and overcrowded cities too. Employment in factories and mills increased, people were driven off their land with families. Scientific rationalisation of nature Is also reason all romantics write about nature along with these. This is the Romantic Revival, welcome social changes Romantics and Neoclassists react aggressively This period will see an intellectual movement till Victoria ascended the throne. The literary changes in this era were thanks to Wordsworth's work in 93- Preface to Lyrical Ballads It denounced upper class subjects and diction of poetry. Ars Poetica demanded finish, detail and correction. Innovation is preferred by Romantics. Tradition was favoured by neoclassists. Romantics used common life and common tongue, Neoclassists use royal aristocrats with dialogues in elevated tongue. Poetry was seen as an imitation of the human life, Art required skills and talent. For Romantics it's spontaneous overflow of feelings. Then emphasis was given to shared experience and feelings too Romantics give emphasis to supernatural and symbolism- poet's feelings, trascendality and individualistic ideals- Classical writers were looked up to earlier Now poets are visionaries and prophets. Earlier it was human beings in society Now Nature's used to tell you what you're missing out. Accessible goals for humans was their motto Romantics like limitless aspirations. Romantics believe in the organic laws Neoclassists said decorum and established rules. This is the Romantic Revival, welcome social changes Romantics and Neoclassists react aggressively. This period will see an artistic movement till Victoria on throne. Now let's see some famous personalities, Who made the Revival what it is to be. Wordsworth and Coleridge and Southey and Scott Then came Lord Byron and John Keats and Shelley with Blake and Jane Austen and Hazzlitt and Quincey Love Peacock and Wollstonecraft, Walpole and Beatrice Cenci, Leigh Hunt and Mary Shelley. And thus, we're done.
