(A caption that was under the picture) Eugene Delacroix depicted Liberty as both an allegorical goddess-figure and a robust woman of the people. The mound of corpses acts as a kind of pedestal from which Liberty strides, barefoot and bare-breasted. -Eugene Delacroix, 1830.

The French Revolution

* The French Revolution played a huge role in influencing Romantic writers.

* As the Revolution began to play out, the absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in only three years. This resulted in a complete transformation of society. A majority of the population was greatly in favor of this as the working class had been suffering oppression for many years.

* This was also noted by Alebert Hancock, in his book The French Revolution and the English Poets: a study in historical criticism.
