SLIDING INTO ROMANTICISM
1750s-1850s: The rise of new merchant wealth and educating the lower and middle classes helped create Romanticism. This was caused by changes in geography due to new nation states and new transportation technologies (trains, steam engines). More people moved to cities. The Romantics feared a loss of an imagined rural, innocent life.

A lot of ideas from the Romanticism movement still exist to this day.
