Question

Writers who turned away from the harsh realities of industrial life were part of which cultural movement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Romanticism

Explanation:

Romanticism was an artistic, political and philosophical movement that emerged in the last decades of the eighteenth century in Europe that lasted for much of the nineteenth century. It was characterized as a world view contrary to rationalism and the Enlightenment and sought a nationalism that would consolidate national states in Europe.

Initially only an attitude, a state of mind, romanticism later takes on the form of a movement, and the romantic spirit starts to designate an entire worldview centered on the individual. Romantic authors have turned more and more to themselves, portraying human drama, tragic love, utopian ideals, and desires for escapism. If the eighteenth century was marked by objectivity, enlightenment and reason, the beginning of the nineteenth century would be marked by lyricism, subjectivity, emotion and self.

The term romantic refers to the aesthetic movement, that is, to the idealistic or poetic tendency of someone who lacks objective meaning.
