Here's a good documentary on the Romantics. It's from BBC, is in three parts, and covers Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron and Keats. It starts with the French Revolution which was, to me, a surprising connection. Well worth watching if anyone has the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMA85_IkFxg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhOyI-SjU-g&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3lBUvbLYMU&feature=related
