A compelling and persuasive account of how the Romantic Movement
permanently changed the way we see things and express ourselves.
Three great revolutions rocked the world around 1800. 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 and
far-reaching. From Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Burns, to
Beethoven, Wagner, Berlioz, Rossini and Liszt, to Goya, Turner,
Delacroix and Blake, the romantics brought about nothing less than
a revolution when they tore up the artistic rule book of the old
regime. This was the period in which art acquired its modern
meaning; for the first time the creator, rather than the created,
took centre-stage. Artists became the high priests of a new
religion, and as the concert hall and gallery came to take the
place of the church, the public found a new subject worthy of
veneration in paintings, poetry and music. Tim Blanning's
sparkling, wide-ranging survey traces the roots and evolution of a
cultural revolution whose reverberations continue to be felt today.
