It was then an industrial boom in London that workers were counted as hands and not humans. The movement of Romanticism has ever been misunderstood. However, it ushered in a new era and today we'll be dealing with doing away with the misconceptions of what the term means and what is implied by a Romantic poet.
It is so often so that people tend to think that poems dealing with the adoration of someone are romantic poems' which are written by what is called a Romantic poet.
One can talk about Romanticism all day long but an elaboration of the same would be redundant and insignificant.
What we can learn from Romanticism is that there are times when numbers can be considered subservient to emotions. The insistence of schooling the generation with facts only, sidelining everything else seemed to be one of the most disastrous ideas to have disrupted the human mind in the history of mankind. Remember what we mentioned earlier that the factory workers were not counted as humans but as hands.

Take for instance when Wordsworth visits his native place after decades he recalled the days of his childhood spent in the blissful environment of Tintern Abbey.
The accompaniment of his sister with him for the visit did not seem to add joy to it. Rather Wordsworth considers he no longer feels the same way when he looks at the places which grip the most precious memories of his childhood. Things are the same, what has changed is his perspective of viewing the world. The reason why he no longer feels the bliss which he did as a child is because a child's mind is least bothered with the biases of the world. The open-mindedness that children possess is because of their unbridled will to look up to the world and grow henceforth.
Wordsworth quotes " Bliss was it in that Dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven". What he meant was the world isn't how it is in itself, rather it is how we perceive it to be.
The children who lost their parents in the war were prey to the cruel factory owners. They were made to work inside the chimneys sweeping them from the inside to facilitate the exhaustion of smoke. The sad
Part is that they slept and woke up in the same chimneys they used to clean. In other words, they slept and woke up in darkness, but this was not limited to the literal meaning of the term. It was highly metaphorical of the darkness that clouded their lives forever after the war.
The repercussions of the war now sparked a query about the existence of God. Darwin's theory of evolution became a bone of contention during the post-war period. It was then that the multiplicity of beliefs came to the rise, following an expansion of the horizons of knowledge about faith.
Moreover, the period also witnessed developments in psychiatry and psychotherapy. We are all well aware of the buzz regarding psychiatry and mental health today. But initially, the study of psychiatry involved only severe disorders. For instance the Oedipus complex. It was Freud's genius that made a revolutionary breakthrough that paved the way to the unchartered territories of the human mind.
However, no one is concerned about how this theory came into the limelight. The theory is centred upon the controversial play written by the Greek playwright Sophocles. Had Sophocles not written the play Freud would not have come up with a theory so remarkable, which in turn led to further developments. If there were no further developments related to the study of the human mind there is no denying that we would never be living such an evolved and a progressed life.
Most of the knowledge that you have gained is a discourse governed by the socio-political interests of the society. You learn what you are made to learn and not what has entire accordance with truth and actuality.
