HISTORY OF IDEAS – Romanticism

The School of Life



Romanticism is a historical movement that still hugely colours how we tend to feel and look at the world: it’s responsible for the way we approach love, nature, business and children. This is its history. If you like our films take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): http://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/all/

  3. You missed the musical significance of Beethovan, Brahms and Rachmaninoff. Beethovan's Moonlight Sonata was every bit as important as the dates you quote, not to mention his symphonies.

  5. Please could you think about releasing transcripts for your videos? I love using these for my classes but some of my students have hearing or other learning difficulties and having these as a transcript would be so incredibly helpful!

  6. Rumi, 13th Century Persian poet, also had a romantic "throw caution to the wind in a storm of passion" attitude. Here are some Rumi quotes. Who dares to live like this?

    “Forget safety.
    Live where you fear to live.
    Destroy your reputation.
    Be notorious.”

    “Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

    “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

    “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

    “Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.”

    “Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.”

    “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."

    “In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”

    “The minute I heard my first love story,
    I started looking for you, not knowing
    how blind that was.
    Lovers don't finally meet somewhere
    They're in each other all along.”

    “What you seek is seeking you.”

    "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

  10. Incorrect information.
    Goethe never wrote anything romantic. Be careful what you publish. Leiden des jungen Werthers (Sorrows of young Werther) is "Sturm und Drang", not romanticism. After publishing many S. U D. books, Goethe changed to Weimarer Klassik, but never Romanticism!

  17. Well the petit bourgois still tends to abuse their children with stupidity and lessons of antique conservativism while Schopenhauer said that its clear its usually the adult who fucks up a child. So pink floyd is definatly right if they say we don't need no education, advise yes not education.

  18. I invented energy source as a Victorian steam factory harvested from victorian chimneys and it burns on John Milton paradise lost industrial prints so. THere is a possibility for regressive romantics then.

  19. Excuse me? Where is Percy Bysshe Shelley in this? Not only did you exclude him from the over view at the beginning but also the time line. Shelley is perhaps the most poignant of all second gen Romantics and truly embodies the movement. Also they ALL didn't believe in God? Erm… evidence for that? Although this is a well made video with 'some' great info it's fairly ignorant. Frankly I am amazed Shelley isn't in there, especially as you mentioned the shunned Romantic radical. That IS Shelley. Anyone that's reading this, if you want to read some beautiful, provocative Romantic poetry and prose look to Shelley. The "unacknowledged legislator".

  28. Though this may suck, I think that maybe arranged
    marriages on the whole are more 'successful' than romantic ones.
    Except for marriage by capture, I like that one. ?

  31. I've read "The Sorrows of Young Werther". A lot of eye-rolling was involved. I lean toward Decadent works–you know, those of Baudelaire, Huysmans, Sade, etc. Let us not forget that Jean-Jacques liked to be whipped–particularly by an older woman.

  35. "Romantics don't believe in God…" oh, please! Within the Romanticism there were ideals that exalted the Divine in God (or gods), as well as many Christian Romantic Representatives. And I don't mean that Romanticism was a religious movement (it wasn't, I know), nor that all the Romantics were Believers, but it's simply not true that Archetypical Romantic was an emotion-seeker atheist!

  36. I’m here for a school project and this is sure to help but honestly I’ve always been a nerd for history and I found this fascinating because when I look at history I never quite look at literature and art. I should start doing that more thanks!

  39. i really need help plz respond if possible
    i have a project (powerpoint ) to do on the romanticism novels and it’s setting but i think i confused myself with online research so i don’t know anything about its setting

  42. Dionisios Solomos, a trully great and deep poet brought me here, collecting pieces to help me understand the fragments of his work

  47. An Age of Maturity: I doubt it'll happen, the propensity of power to control outweighs its propensity to integrate. But perhaps the movie The Fountain offers a potential optimistic future where the "astronaut" utilizes an understanding of nature to sustain himself within an ecosphere. Even here though hubris is still evident.
