Talk:Romanticism

Cut the following passage, because it has nothing to do with Romanticism. If you want to include it, the connections have to be made clear.

One of these was Chartism [not a liberal movement], which emerged as a working-class movement advocating for political reform. The People’s Charter gained support in industrial towns and put political pressure on the elites. Even though Chartism as a political movement did not achieve its goals at the time, the demands of the People’s Charter were fulfilled with the reform acts of the political system. The first reform bill laid the basis for all later reforms, gradually expanding the voting rights and representation in Parliament. Another turning point in British history, highlighting the need for political and social reform was the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, where political tension erupted into violence.
