Batavick, Frank. (Added Author). Font, Víctor. (Added Author). Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: The rebellious artist, the attraction to the dark side, love and death, and the primacy of nature--all of these are themes that suffused the artistic and ideological revolution known as Romanticism. This program vividly conveys how new ways of thinking and seeing reshaped the humanities in the 18th and 19th centuries. The writings of Hölderlin, Emerson, Poe, Whitman, Byron, Wordsworth and Keats, as well as the paintings of Turner and Goya and the music of Beethoven, are vibrantly presented.
