The Romantic Revolution
Description
The Romantic Revolution by Tim Blanning. 'Three great revolutions rocked the world around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The first two - the French Revolution and the industrial revolution - have inspired the greatest volume of literature. But the third - the romantic revolution - was perhaps the most fundamental, radical and far-reaching. From Wordsworth, Coleridge, Burns and Byron, to Beethoven, Rossini, Berlioz, Liszt and Wagner, to Goya, Blake, Turner and Delacroix, collectively the romantics brought about nothing less than a revolution when they tore up the artistic rule book of the old regime. Tim Blanning illustrates the roots and manifestations of a cultural revolution that set the agenda for our own times, and shows how the reverberations of this revolution continues to be felt today.
