Literature Q2P02
A new sensibility
- With no specific manifesto, in late 18th century a new generation of poets began
impersonal, eloquent(Augustan Age) โ subjective, autobiographical, introspective, lyrical- Exploration of personal feelings and emotions provoked by the observation of nature: by describing specific scenarios, the experience is generalized and extended to discuss universal ideas (not simply aiming to create a direct impact in the viewer through sheer suggestion)
- The industrialization greatly influenced this movement
- People living in the city sought diversion and serenity, which only the countryside could offer
- Humility and elements of everyday life rather than elevated subject
- New locations described:
- Castles, graveyards, ruins (reminds of the past)
- Meditation on hardship and the experiences of the common folk
