    The Industrial Revolution gave new momentum to Romantic Poets, and they pushed a movement against industrialization and mechanization; Romantic Poets were concerned about people moving away from nature, and people being unhappy.

    The sense of progress provided by industrialization made Romantic Poets promote values like individualism, idealization of the past, childhood, families, love, and nature.

    As some examples, Lord Byron's "She walks in Beauty", the poet idolizes a woman comparing her to Earth's natural beauty;

    and John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale": ("Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down") - - to the mythic idea of the nightingale surviving the rise and fall of civilizations.
