the passage from an agricultural system to an industrial one. This passage had
different reactions: happiness for the birth of machinery, unhappiness for the
unemployment, and victory of
Woman's condition
Till that moment woman were confined to be a housewife, but the nineteen century that is the romantic age signed the passage of a revolution in women' condition. There are some alternative to the role of housewife: in the town women try to be independent working as secretary; it is important because women can life alone, without the presence of a man, but many other women lived in families working as a governant, so they hadn't a total independence from an original family. They belong to emergent class: the middle class, but the situation changed in the country, when the terrible condition of life brought people to live as a peasant.
The egoistical sublime
We can define this period us a period of creative power because of the historical and social changes. Literary changes means willingness to discover to have new interest, new outlook. These changes happens trough the use of imagination; to give a form to emotion, in which human mind is analyzed till its subconscious trough the use of dreams. This analyze of human mind has the dipper analysis in a particular period: the childhood; because child is pure, hi is uncorrupted by the society because he isn't civilized; the child doesn't know the evil and the pride. He isn't under the influence of the problem. In this way he is near to god, because god is a symbol of pure man. This period of life is analyzed in his solitary state, in his individual mind. The poet analyzed the protagonist of his work in a personal condition, producing an atypical, producing an outcast, producing a rebel. They are outside men, they aren't ordinary people. This man doesn't share the rules of everyday life. The civilized society according to Rousseau is full of restrictions, corruption and evil. He wanted a natural behavior represented by child. He called the man that lives in a natural behavior "noble selvage", a man who know the rules, civilized with a great interest of knowledge of himself and of the world. He is also a primitive and uncontrolled slave of instinct.

The poetic diction
The romantic poetic diction is linked to the search of a original, individual, personal style, because each author showed an aspect of romanticism. According to this project the words should be dynamic, energetic, vivid, but also familiar. The language is vivid because nature is considered a subject, because nature is described in movement, according to the emotion it produces an human mind. The language is full of vivid and dynamic words, but it is also full of images and symbols, because they represent "key" trough to analyzed personal perception. ^why personal?^ because nature is seen under the prospective of the poet so it is the poet's vision and not a universal one. The search of a personal style and language is due to the challenge that the poet promoted against the society trough the outside, rebel and outcast.
The language of sense impressions
The poetry of the period is linked to the emotion, to the search of intellectual, of the sensuous place that everyday life produce. ( reality is analyzed with emotion, feelings, intellectualism). So it isn't what nature is, but what nature appears to man trough the use of emotion and feelings. The kind of analysis bring the poet to use words, phrases, which produce visual, olfactory, tactical and auditory images, so they are images linked to the five senses.
Poetry argument: reality
Reality no what is it
Reality yes: what appears to poet
Reality is analyzed by: words/ phrases linked to five senses
So the use of words and phrases full of references of the five senses is necessary to reproduce the personal experience of the poet in his relationship with nature and to give the personal help in the contribution of meaning of the poet. These words/phrases turn around the five senses: to express the personal experience of the poet at the contact with nature; to better understand the meaning of the poem, because these words/ phrases reflect what the poet thinks on nature. Intellectual think only describing what we see, we hear and touch, it is possible put in relationship the world and its invisible powers that is the capacity to go behind reality, discovering true, behind reason using the five senses allow man to create another level of life out the world of ordinary experience. So this world can be understood and interpreted only by the poet sensibility, imagination that is more developed than ordinary people. This great sensibility can be so strong to involve man( the poet) in what he see. The romantic age is divided into two section: first and second generation. First generation is also called of the <<lake poet>>, because their description have lake. Blave and Wordsworth analyzed nature trough eyes and ears. Keats preferred touch and smell. They used synaesthesia to perceive an image through the use of one of the senses.
