If you enjoyed this, I went on a literary camping trip to the English Lake District to search for the roots of Romanticism. Watch the film here: ruclips.net/video/IKeOQcfTCtM/видео.html
I was going to make something political for the end of the decade but decided on something a bit more wholesome instead. Want to give me a new year's gift: hit that bell to get alerted to new and hopefully evolving videos in 2020! Happy New Year to every wonderful person who spends the time watching my little channel!
In an age of passion, where hearts once soared, Romanticism bloomed, its essence poured, Through art and verse, it sought to express, The fervor of love, the soul's finesse. Philosophy intertwined with nature's allure, The sublime, the wild, a spirit pure, From Wordsworth's hills to Byron's strife, Emotions painted, a vivid life. The poet's pen, a visionary guide, Through love and loss, where feelings reside, Shelley's dreams and Keats' sweet pain, Echoing timeless, their soulful refrain. Then, their words ignited a fiery glow, Hearts ablaze with an ardent flow, But now, in a world of modern hue, Their echoes linger, still ringing true. For love's enchantment, though time may sway, In hearts and souls, it finds its way, The essence of Romanticism's flight, Then and now, an eternal light.
@@@ChuckyMarks "The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." Would seem more Modernist than Romantic or Postmodernist. A dash of bitters to cut the excess of syrup.
Just in time, to the minute even. I don't typically think such things, but I really needed this. I can't express my gratitude. Thank you and Happy New Year.
The production quality of this video is a lot higher than what its views reflects. As a great introduction to the philosophy during the romanticism, I will thank you for making this.
@@lyrical9582 or maybe the nature of desire is such that it’s object is always beyond what we already possess. The grass is always greener on the other side, as the saying goes
Your videos are philosophically very helpful and also stylistically enjoyable. I have been following you for a long time. Please keep on producing the great works.
Hi! Really wonderful video, the content is accurate and different from many other videos on the RUclips. I have a recommendation and that is to try and create some animated content rather than using some old stock footage, It would be easier to enjoy and remember. Thanks for the time you've putted into creating this one though!
Wikipedia describes it as a reaction to the logic and reason of the Enlightenment, celebrating emotions and feelings. Beethoven vs. Bach. Victor Hugo, Edgar Allen Poe, Charlotte Bronte, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. A Gothic revival, the past is relevant. The rise of nationalism and the real reason we don't all now speak Latin or French or even English and why Europe didn't become all one nation.
“THE PATTERN of development typically established for the English romantic poets is the transition from naive political radicalism to literary romanticism, informed by a faith in imagination and sober conservative skepticism. Although there is a limited truth to this oversimplification, it distorts the actual process the poets experienced. Distortion becomes myth when the Enlightenment (rationalist, mechanistic, revolutionary) is contrasted with Romanticism (imagination and feeling, organicism, conservatism). This is especially misleading in dealing with a poet like Shelley, whose work reflects a growing pessimism even though he never ceased being a political radical.” ---Radical Shelley: The Philosophical Anarchism and Utopian Thought of Percy Bysshe Shelley
I wonder why so many people trace the development of The Enlightenment from Descartes through the French Revolution to the present. The French Revolution seems to have been a complete failure as it resulted in horrific atrocities and ultimately the return of the aristocracy via Napoleon. It seems to me that the path of The Enlightenment was more closely followed in England with more powers being devolved to the people via the legislature and then on to America with its Constitution.
@John Smith I think that's confusing 'The Enlightenment' with the development of constitutional liberal democracy. The two are related, but the Enlightenment went far beyond a simple political project. It was literally a new worldview, one which removed God (except in an abstract watchmaker sense) from the centre of the universe and placed humanity and reason.(or 'man' as the old fashioned way would have been) at the centre. Liberalism and constitutionalism (though not democracy) were outgrowths of this dramatic shift in thinking. They weren't the cause.
@@hemanthnair1290 Humanism was an ideal from the Renaissance. Placing man at the centre of everything, rather than God. Enlightenment confirmed and carried this ideal about individuality further!
After thinking about it for a while, I don't think Romanticism is as difficult to define as some might think. It emphasizes emotion, idealizes women, has an innate love for children, and sees nature as a teacher. When I read Romantic poetry I noticed a certain love for the natural state of things. This was most obvious in Wordsworth's poem "My Heart Leaps Up." But I've been asking myself if this really is an honest way of seeing the world. It really isn't, because it doesn't matter if your guilty of a crime or not, nature goes on with its hurricane-force winds, its blinding sunlight, and its spreading of innumerable diseases all the same. One of the biggest flaws of Romanticism is that it sees nature as a teacher. Hobbes was right about nature.
Talk about missing the forest for the trees. Of course nature isn’t some perfect all-loving force that only produces rainbows and sunshine. Romantics weren’t blind to the storms. The beauty of nature resides in the interplay of life and death, creation and destruction, happiness and sadness, orgasm and post-nut depression.
@@Liliquan I didn't say the Romantics were blind to the storms. The problem is that when you see nature as a teacher, then what reason is there for you to think that what it does isn't morally justified? Nature is no proper teacher for how to live your life.
There is no real except the real which passes through the feels. Without the feels you would cease to be self-aware. Equivalent to an ant mindlessly following the aura of chemicals. But maybe you’ve already regressed to such an existence. ❤
People actually die when they step into my shadow. I woke up one morning, and my shadow was sat in a chair opposite me - it said "look, I can't do this anymore - so you'll have to leave without me". So that's what I did. I was telling this to the old lady across the street, and she started laughing at me saying "well, dear, if you've lost your shadow then what is that dark patch in front of you". I said, ma'am, that's not a shadow - I just peed my pants. Unfortunately my urine is made of highly concentrated sulphuric acid. And as the old lady had unknowingly stepped in it, she completely dissolved right in front of my eyes. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
no mention of the American Revolution in 1775. The Declaration of Independence... The American Constitution... The French Revolution failed and Napoleon too was defeated by England .

Wish we had credits for music! Do you know the song playing at 3 min??? I want to play it!!

You can give us something political as a gift for the beginning of the decade :)
This was what we needed entering 2020, a reminder about purpose in a chaotic modern world.
Excellent video.
Posting to my post graduate students for their paper on Romanticism
In an age of passion, where hearts once soared,
Romanticism bloomed, its essence poured,
Through art and verse, it sought to express,
The fervor of love, the soul's finesse.
Philosophy intertwined with nature's allure,
The sublime, the wild, a spirit pure,
From Wordsworth's hills to Byron's strife,
Emotions painted, a vivid life.
The poet's pen, a visionary guide,
Through love and loss, where feelings reside,
Shelley's dreams and Keats' sweet pain,
Echoing timeless, their soulful refrain.
Then, their words ignited a fiery glow,
Hearts ablaze with an ardent flow,
But now, in a world of modern hue,
Their echoes linger, still ringing true.
For love's enchantment, though time may sway,
In hearts and souls, it finds its way,
The essence of Romanticism's flight,
Then and now, an eternal light.
When reciting poetry or quotes it would be nice if there was text on the screen as well.
Ditto.
Use captions LMAO
It would be nice if you made some effort and found search out the texts yourself.
@@pramatheshnandan3380 Wtf, that’s not effort. That goes well beyond what’s reasonable to expect of an audience. Get some standards.
I'm glad you are covering this topic, I haven't seen many people discuss it. That type of poetry is my favorite.
Mattjmjmjm Fitting, Yeats

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst

marshacd Fair, fair, but of all Modernists Yeats seems most connected to the Romantic tradition (with exception to, maybe, Stevens).
@@ChuckyMarks And "fair" back to you. Very good point, well made.
Ummmmm, this topic has been covered ad nauseam. Leave your home Patrick Star.

Did you ever end up thanking him?
@@Liliquan lol, we're still waiting
I’m so happy you chose Romanticism. It’s perfect 👌
People's discovery of nature was concurrent with their noticing that they were living in cities.
Petr Zly any chance you might know of some romanticists that wrote about or mentioned that? Sounds like an interesting discussion
We realise the value of something when we lose it, right?
@@lyrical9582 or maybe the nature of desire is such that it’s object is always beyond what we already possess. The grass is always greener on the other side, as the saying goes
An idealized nature, or better: that reflects the tremblings of the soul.

wonderful video, this was very pleasant to watch before going to bed. I'd love to see more on romanticism
My most favorite has been , " Rime of the Ancient Mariner " . Thanks from Kumbhoj village Jai Maharashtra.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. It's so cool to see your video style evolve.
good vid, pls make more about modernism, post-modernism, etc
Thank you! I loved the words, images and sounds.
The fist time ever I see the concept of "emoathy" related to romanticism. I guess One never stops learning New things
thank you so much, the in-depth philosophical insight was great, learnt a lot more in this vid than in any of my english classes cheers!
Excellent video. I was talking about romanticism just the other day, but realized that I didn't really have a strong understanding of the topic
This was beautifully made!
brilliant .......great content ....thank you for sharing ....
Could you please tell me where you can find these old footage?
Exactly, i couldn´t focus because of the beauty of the footages
👏🏼Soundtrack volume should be lowered please, thx.
Interesting themes.
Please make the music a bit quieter! Really like your videos.
Great video, and well explained! Does anybody know the name of the song from 16:44 onwards?
What is that piano piece at 4:00?

there is something life-affirming about accepting nature as a whole
but you have a point

The beat from 4:53 is too catchy it's distracting me from video lol
Well, ironically, Mr Wordsworth was praising the countryside because he had had enough of the French Revolution.
long live Rousseau
Background music is annoying and distracts from content.
feels over reals guys feels over reals
There is no real except the real which passes through the feels.
Without the feels you would cease to be self-aware.

Because American revolution was not part of romanticism.
The French Revolution succeeded in removing the monarchy and I'm not sure what use the American Revolution has here.
Sounds like them romanticists would really love to play minecraft, I feel =)
You have no clue about Romanticism.
Why?
