Question

select the correct answer. which of the following influenced the outlook of the romantic poets of byrons generation? a. the founding principles of ancient greek democracy b. enlightenment faith in the ability of humans to form their own social rules c. the increased freedom of ordinary people after the french revolution d. the destruction of nature following scientific discoveries and the industrial revolution

Explanation:

The French Revolution, which emphasized liberty, equality, and fraternity, inspired a sense of new - found freedom and hope among the people. Romantic poets of Byron's generation were influenced by the ideals of freedom and individualism that the French Revolution represented. Ancient Greek democracy was not a direct influence on their outlook. The Enlightenment's focus on reason was somewhat counter to the more emotional and intuitive nature of Romanticism. And while the destruction of nature was a concern for some Romantics, it was not as central as the ideals of the French Revolution in shaping their overall outlook.

Answer:

C. the increased freedom of ordinary people after the French Revolution
