We are not makers of history. We are made by history.(Martin Luther).Human history is as primitive as time. Sociologically human evolution commenced from living individually to the formation of ethnic and social groups. In literature this development is marked by many periods and stages .It can roughly located by following timeline , Ancient(3600 BC-1500 AD), Postclassical (500-1500) Modern and Post modern eras. Every historical era constitutes significant social, economic, religious and political changes. However, some radical changes are witnessed by the beginning of industrial revolution in Europe.

Throughout centuries, museum practices have always been eager to reflect the ever-changing ideas in art and society. In Europe, many artistic, intellectual and literary movements have inspired museum practices, not only in terms of aesthetic values but also in evoking certain philosophies. By 19th century Europe, Romanticism began to shape many institutions outlook on art, specifically the museum’s way of engaging with new forms of themes that move beyond the artworks. The aim of this paper is to analyze the profound impact that the Romantic Movement of the late 1700s and early 1800s had on museums in Europe during the 19th century, thus accepting the era’s emphasis on museums as public, social experience that reflects the feelings and emotions towards society. The practices in museums of the 19th century have been greatly influenced by the ideals of the late 1700s and early 1800s Romantic Movement. In this case, we must begin with what Romanticism is and how the core values enthuse the practices of museums.

The styles we call High Renaissance, Baroque style, Scientific Reformation, The Enlightenment Era, and The Romantic Era are all shaped by historical forces, the most significant being the Protestant Reformation’s successful challenge to the spiritual and political power of the Church. Martin Luther, son of a rural coal miner had a mass impact in all these eras but Scientific Reformation was more prominent than the rest. Luther was a German monk and Professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg. Luther’s studies were put on hold by a political crisis in Augustinians. He found himself agitated due to the corruption and lack of spirituality he saw in Rome. He saw openly corrupt priests who would taunt the rituals of their faith. Luther sparked the Reformation in 1517 by posting his "95 Theses" on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The 95 theses were a list of statements which expressed Luther's concerns about many Church practices. These ‘Theses’ traveled around Europe. He felt in a manner, that the church was not always right. He did not believe that the Pope was spiritual heir to Saint peter. The Church known now as the Roman Catholic Church was very powerful politically and spiritually in Western Europe. I believed that Martin Luther Help spark the Scientific Era was due to the fact when he mad the 95Theses people began to second guess themselves. People began to have changes in thought & belief.

Everybody has been a child and can relate more or less to the world of children. Childhood is a part of human life that

Throughout the poem it is said that even though the girl has tragically lost some of her siblings, she still believes that they are seven. Having the urge to correct the young girl, the man tries to convince that she is incorrect. Not even the man’s persuasion could change her mind, “The little Maid would have her will, And said, “Nay, we are seven!”” ( Wordsworth, 279 ). With the use of this poem, one can understand the author’s view of humanity by portraying a young child free of negative thoughts while older individuals are prone to seeing the negative aspects of a situation.

Although both men are both devout Christians, they have different views. For instance, William Blake wrote his poems in order to teach children the necessity of being in church and accepting Christ as a personal savior. Many of his poems stress how important it is to know God and how their faith can save them from their worries. An example of this is in the poem "The Chimney Sweeper" when the little boy had a dream about an angel setting free men that were trapped in a black coffin. Throughout his poetry, Blake uses many nouns to indicate the biblical meaning of something. For instance, in the poem "The Lamb", he uses the lamb as a metaphor for Jesus Christ to show that he too was a humble lamb. This metaphor showed that Jesus is close to us humans by using the word lamb to describe both children and Jesus Christ. However, in Wordsworth's poems, the topic of religion is seen through a more naturalistic view. In other words, William Wordsworth viewed that in order for religion to be truly appreciated it must be in nature where God truly is. This view is seen in his poem "We are Seven". The setting of the poem takes place outside of a churchyard in which the narrator and a little cottage girl are discussing her family members. Wordsworth did not use his poetry to show the importance of going to church or being a Christian like Blake did, however, he did use children to show that they are the ones closest to God. In Wordsworth's poetry, the child is what is able to be free in nature, and since nature is where God is that meant that the child was the closest to God. Not only were children used to show the importance of religion to Wordsworth but is also shown through the capitalization of some of the words throughout his poems. Words such as Boy, Girl, and Creature were all capitalized to show that God created all things, and these nouns were capitalized to show that God was

History is the story and knowledge of the past. There are individuals that are interested by history and wish to study it by learning more. It is very informative to know what has happened in the past for self-knowledge. An individual cannot be naïve to the past including but not limited to how literature came to. One can understand literature more when they understand the time period the author wrote during and the way they wrote.

Romanticism is the time period that interests me the most; it was a time during the eighteenth century and focused on nature along with the individual’s expression of imagination and emotion.

The Romantic Period was a literary movement that occurred within the late 18th century and early 19th century and is associated with most works that promote more power to women at the time as well as book that spoke on social issues. Within the period, poetry is hailed as the most important style of writing found in the movement seeing many forms of poetry growing in popularity within all classes of the world. The novel, as a genre, grew in standing throughout the Romantic period and saw growing efforts on the part of authors to test with style, form, and content. New modes of manufacture increased the amount of books that could be printed. In this way, the creation of novels were affected just as much as agriculture and manufacturing were during the Industrial Revolution in England. This dramatically expanded the market for books as well as boosted education due to the increase of those who wished to read. This soon made writers aware of their position and allowed the pieces of art to influence societal norms. Novels which followed this style usually preferred to be comedic in nature as well as provide satirical criticism towards the different social classes. Because of this, the British state attempted to govern what could and could not be published and read not as much by censorship, but by charging publishers or authors with sedition or blasphemy. The state also tried to control printing by implementing prohibitive taxes. This only expanded the market

The Romantic Movement, or the American Renaissance, originated in Germany. This period spread to England, France, and reached America in the early 1800’s. Just as in Europe a new light was shed on the artistic and intellectual circles. However in America romanticism corresponded with national expansion and the discovery of American voice. The foundation of national identity, the rising of idealism, and the passion of Romanticism fostered the “American Renaissance. (Outline of American Lit.)
