Description
The Romantic Revolution: A Graphic Guide explores the transformative period between 1789 and 1848 that gave birth to modern attitudes towards political and artistic freedom. This was an era marked by passionate individualism and chauvinistic nationalism, which also prefigured totalitarian movements of the 20th century. Duncan Heath and Judy Boreham examine the interlocking strands of Romanticism, focusing on leading figures in Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and America. By exploring the lives and works of key individuals such as Napoleon, Hegel, Turner, Blake, Wagner, and Marx, this guide sheds light on the complexities of Romanticism. Through its unique overview, The Romantic Revolution: A Graphic Guide provides a nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in history, revealing how it continues to shape our world today.
