Romantic Revolution: the Humanistic Movement That Created the Modern World
About This Novel
Around 1800, three great revolutions created the modern world. The first two revolutions are the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution, which are well known to everyone, but the third revolution, the Romantic Revolution, has been ignored by us. In fact, the Romantic movement changed our way of thinking and expression, and promoted the demand for personal liberation and emotional expression; its emphasis on personal independence and freedom was far-reaching and had a fundamental impact. From Byron and Wordsworth to Beethoven and Wagner, from Goya and Turner to Delacroix and Blake, the famous historian Tim Breining tells the story of the Sturm und Drang era of Enlightenment and its significance to the nineteenth century and today's world.
