Answer 1

Social critics like Charles dickens were different from romantic artists in that they wrote about society and not the individual.

Explanation:

The social realists of the 1850's came as a response of the Industrialization of England and their noticing of the ever increasing divide between the rich and the poor.

Romanticism too was an early response to industrialization but in a different vein.

It was about the assertion of individuality in the face of new developments in the society.

The social realists understood civil rights and living conditions of the poor as the paramount subject to write about as social  injustice pervaded the society in Victorian England.
