I love how he has a cup, makes me feel as if we're having a face to face conversation

Holds a cup for 20 minutes but never takes a sip out of it.

Its great that you include short notes and pictures as well as lecturing, really helps visual learners!

You teach so much better than my teacher.

You saved my life with this! 10 page essay on the subject and couldn't understand pages and pages of info from the web! Thank you very much!

I love my teachers but KZfaq teachers have a special place in my heart ❤️

I'm really enjoying your lectures, Tom. Reminds me of my Western Civ classes back in the day. I'm surprised at how much I remember. I took second semester first, so 19th Century Europe was my first experience with world history. My professor was as excited about the material as you, so that must explain my retention. I sat in class spellbound, taking nary a note, but acing every test. Unfortunately, my next professor lacked enthusiasm, which might explain my lower grade from him. Remember always that your lectures will outlive you and enrich the lives of those you reach. Thanks!

you are cool. this was both informative and entertaining.

Greetings from Tunisia , Thank you for the brief and very informative video . It helped me alot to understand my course and my class of fiction .

This was so helpful for college papers in art history... especially since I waited till the night before to write a ten page paper every week.

I swear he got $100 in advertising just from me watching these videos cramming for the AP test

it's 4 am and i'm cramming for my final...thank you tom you've saved me& my sanity literally so many times

I feel that romanticism and the enlightenment do intersect with Rousseau. Rousseau's writings were a huge inspiration to romanticism, but he was also a major part of the enlightenment. And the enclosure acts is something I feel both Rousseau and romantics would have been enraged by. I like the idea of enlightened romanticism.

Tom i clearly understood this subject which had been confusing me for a week. Thank you.

U have made valentine out of every boy and girl who watches ur videos. Good work

"Why do you have to understand everything?" I love how he says that. Can't stop laughing.

That Dave Mustaine V in the background = awesomeness.

I love how you explain this subject very well in an entertaining way and also the use of the easy language everyone could understand ! Thank you so much for this video

Can someone please help me if got the idea of Romanticism correct? Romanticism is the reaction to the Industrial Revolution, in a way that the Romantics emphasize the beauty of nature so then we can take a break from all of "human progress and capabilities" stuff, and focus to the appreciation of nature, which was the most affected because it is the price that tolled to achieve the Industrial Age. Can someone please help me if got the idea of Romanticism correct?

Tom I want to thank you so much for this video, this has truly helped me understand my essay and helped me get my essay started. Thank you so much

thank you sir for helping me to grasp this subject

This has been extremely helpful to me, and I've been using these to review for my AP European History exam which is this week. Thank you so much for posting this!

Romanticism can be an escape from reality. A defense mechanism to maintain sanity or go completely mad.

Like many children of my generation, I was fascinated and horrified by the Frankenstein story. It made Boris Karloff an "A" list star! Against the backdrop of the Romantic movement, though, "Frankenstein" becomes an indictment of modern science, particularly the debate over what animates the living. Many people today reject the mysticism of the romantics, yet deny that we are a collection of working parts. The Romantic legacy is still with us!

Jason Bourne is a history professor in actuality.

"Nature + Castles, TOO COOL" I died a little. Your accent is great. #thanksvitaly #praisethekuz

Would it make sense to classify Tolkien as a Romantic? Because the books seem to celebrate nature and vilify machinery, and when Fordo comes back to The Shire it goes from being innocent and joyous and takes on a dirty industrial landscape, much like Britain in Tolkien's time.

Nicely done. How'd you avoid spilling the coffee?

I loooove Caspar David Friedrich. 🙌😍

Thank you for clarifying such an elusive term!

Bro, these guys are ahead of their time. '-' I didn't know I was a romantic. Thank you for this video!

I have learned that Romanticism was about using imagination to understand one's fellow man, about rights of every individual, and about responsibility to each other. This presentation doesn't touch on that at all, but states romanticism is just narrow minded period of nostalgia for the past. This video is primarily ridiculing romanticism and the leap forward it actually afforded western thought. Do not watch this to understand romantic period; it is for entertainment only.

I just learned in 16 minutes what my teacher explained in a month and the text book in 100 pages

Tom Richey, I want you to know you are my private teacher. I've passed the last exam with flying colours!!! On Friday, I have to sit for another exam on Augustan Age and Romanticism. Regards =)=)=) Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pastori, Laura Alejandra

Jason Bourne decoding the Romanticism mystery. 😀 Nicely done though... The content was superbly organised.

Thank you so much!! your lectures are so easy to understand and a great review source. I am very glad I found your videos right now (because its about and hour untill my exam) and I needed this summary of the subjects my notes did not cover well. Thanks!

Your video is simply exceptional, well documented, fantastic

It was really useful. I never saw Frankenstein in this light. Thanks a lot.

Excellent video--my students really seemed to like it.

love your video !! makes it so easy to understand romanticism . thanks for uploading.

my senpai Tom Richey has finally noticed me!

is there an -Ism mix of enlightment and romentecism?

The clearest explanation. Thank you.

Can you do a video on socialism, anarchism, marxism, and communism? And also, can you do a video analyzing the communist manifesto?

Always perfect timing for my tests haha. Thanks for posting.

You really need to make a vid on realism in science and stuff during the 19th century. It would really help

Thank you so much for all your great videos helping me to better understand all the content before each of my test come up! You are truly a great teacher. Also, could you maybe do some videos on German Unification and everything that comes along with that?

They were right, it isn't progress if it's procrastination. The world is very much rich, but got so poor and dependent of a urban model. Moral conflic, people independent of their ideas can't have a place to rest his mind. Modern Dark Ages.

your videos are always really helpful, thank you! Big test tomorrow.

This is so easy to understand. Love it.

this guy is the goat

Great Explanation. Could you please do a video on Cosumerism and capitalism? Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism. It Will be a great help. I love the way you explain everything.

this video is both educational and funny. It really helped me learn, thanks for the videos.

perfect pace for notetaking !

Thank you, sir, for this really cool videos. I look forward into seeing more videos for the periods of history of art, youtube needs to be filled with more of that and the way you do it is just right! Keep up the good work, you have a big like from me.

Informative video ... contextual analysis and comparison are helpful ... thank you :)

Hey man, this video is reaally good! It helped me and saved me a bunch of time of research. I'm going to use this information for a couple of my high school classes, and I stole that graphic organizer from you. (Dont worry ill tell them the name of your channel ;) )

Deeply disappointed at how much cooler and better teacher you are than my art teacher at school ! :( :P I enjoyed watching this and will def. check out your other videos. Thank u, This may save my test tomorrow ;)

Awesome!!! Thanks! You are pretty cool teacher!!!

I'm still watching, but I had to pause it to congratulate u on that awesome joke about their reason for crying...just my cuppa tea buddy!;-) I'll resume watching now..

Am watching it on Valentine's day 2021

Thank you so much, Tom Richey. Your videos are always great and they always help me with quizzes and tests!

Thank you for posting this video. Just one point is that as far as I understand Monty Python is not about celebrating middle age values. It mocks those (probably together with enlightenment ideals of progress??).

what music did you use when comparing the two ideas from 5:14-6:17? Great video by the way :)

You are gonna help me pass fiction and for that i owe you !!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, greetings from Argentina and thanks :)

Good for him. Keep up the good work. Teacher made me watch this, but by the end I was interested and engaged! cool cool cool

I love your videos - keep it up!

The Industrial age didn't exactly get off to a nurturing start. Im not surprised Romanticism developed sometime thereafter. Hope in contrast to brutal capitalism, disease, and crime.

One main writer about Romanticism in France is Chateaubriand. I would have loved to hear your french accent gain.

Very pleasant speaker, this one

whoa i clicked this video because i have a project due tomorrow by romanticism and coincidently today is valentines day!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!

Thank you for this amazing video :) it is very helpful to put all my knowledge before exam together!

Great videos with a great host. Thanks.

What kind of guitar is that

I don't believe we should get too hung up with the "obsoleteness" of the weapons in Jerusalem. This is a Romantic writer we are dealing with after all. The weapons mentioned all have a Divineness to them, "bring me my spear, o clouds unfold, bring me my chariot of fire". These are all things mentioned throughout the Bible, and it as if Nephilim and God himself, who according to Romantics, calls Nature his dwelling place, shall intervene with the Romantics to turn back the tide of the satanic encroachment of Industrialization. They aren't real weapons that the Romantics will use against the ominous "industrializers" more metaphorical way of allying God to their cause, and making their cause more righteous.

Awesome teacher!

Thank you so much sir!!Pls keep uploading more videos.

hi. could you be more clear about the reaction of Romantics being against the enlightment and revolutions. i thought the Tomantics were revolutionaries and they believed in change and scince. But, Neo-classicism were against urban life and revolution. they attached to Greek and Roman literature and then general nature. while romantics writers were interested in human nature and individual feelings.

i still cannot workout the differences between Romanticism and Neo-classicism. i need some info and explanation please. thank you.

Would you consider Weimar Classicism to be a forerunner to the Romantic movement?

Sir, i’m doing master in romantics period and I’m fascinated with beauty and innocence in that time, however i have an issue to write a proposal for my studying 🤗 can u help me with that?

I question that Romanticism was anti the Age of Enlightenment. Romanticism was a movement that valued emotion over logic. That doesn't mean they hated logic. They just loved the idea of powerful emotion.

great video thanks

Great lecture. But why did Matt Damon start to teach history and art?

This has helped me so so much, Thank you!! Can you possibly post 19th century and world war 1 soon? :)

Tom looks like Chris Conley from Saves The Day. Nevertheless I enjoyed this and the BC RICH.

Hi! I really enjoy your videos. Can you tell me, what artwork (artist?) is that which you showed with the title "Critique of Progress"?

What are your views on the enlightment?

Beliefs rule the humanity

J.R.R. Tolkien was also a romantic if i remember correctly

Is that a dean guitar (flying v model) with active emg pickups or black Seymour Duncan humbuckers? I cant figure it out haha

I've seen this picture with the man on top of a mountain sevaral times on KZfaq, who is the original author of it?

Thank you for this helpful video

Watching for school anyone?

great video ! thank for your help! :)

I think you've just made me a Romantic.

Thank you for the context, i did not know it ;)

great vid man. super helpful
