"Wordsworth and Coleridge were relocating dignity in the commonplace, restoring grace and significance to ordinary lives, where saints and heroes walked unannounced and unknown." - This is a brilliantly written documentary series. Thank you so much for uploading this for us to enjoy!

By God this is the best documentary series I've ever seen on this subject. So evocative. It really works to get across the spirit of Romanticism not only in describing and narrating but by expressing it in the very presentational style of the programme.

Brilliantly done. The interplay between the historical figures and the modern world really brings the concepts to life.

In the unique qualities of his person, Peter Ackroyd embodies the primary value of the Romantic Revolution. He and his life and work are its fulfillment. This is apparent. I thank him for the work he's done to bring the news to the rest of us.

my dear friend farhaan chohan opened my eyes to this video it really does encapsulates the essence of the romantics influence and the period itself how it echoed through history how the events of the french revolution impacted the generation of the time how these poets used their emotions and put it all in their writing to create such brilliance and class that not only did rebel to the capitalist injustice at the time but allowed readers for centuries forward and in between to relate and be inspired by their work which relates to the injustices in modern day society, this production is quite emphatic in its purpose.

the dark tone of the opening was completely hilarious for me because of the adorable face and voice of the narrator😆 pulse it helped me out with my paper. what a wonderful day.

This is superb. Looking forward to next episode. Thank you so much for uploading.

great documentary, and it's a plus that the narrator sounds like the clergyman in Princess Bride - "MAWWIAGE: that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam."

Excellent! Would love to see more like this. Have always admired Coleridge and he is one of a few poets I would have loved to have met. This has prompted me to read the Lyrical Ballads again.

I wish i could have seen this 7yrs back when i was in my masters. I would have definitely devoted more of my time in literature back then. It is far more bttr then watching movies. It aroused interest in me for my subject that i haven't study for last 6 yrs. Thanx for the motivation.

"Everyone was different; everyone was unique.. By making art out of revolutionary philosophy, Wordsworth and Coleridge succeeded where the revolution had failed. They gave politics a human face. Lyrical Ballads was a revolution in twenty-three poems."

Rousseau being the Dr explains alot about how the 18th century unfolded.

This is magnificent. More than I could have imagined

Rousseau said that; 'Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.' and he wrote also that 'Freedom is the power to choose our own chains.' So he is a man of paradoxes as he wished to be. :))

Relocating dignity in the common place....beautiful

I simply love this documentary. It gives so much insight and the music is more than appropriate.

The docu carries the singular BBC cachet. The narration deftly blends with the visuals marked by surreal jump-cut, montage, and subtle interplay of light and shade that accentuates angularities of characters represented. I could have sworn the rough-hewn, weather-beaten, ancient mariner with a bronchial, throaty voice was the real- life escapee from Coleridge's piacular ballad.

Peter Ackroyd is simply brilliant!

I am so enjoying this journey many thanks.

Powerful. Many thanks.

Great work!

Wow! i have read The rime of the ancyent marinere, but i had marly read it as literature, but now understanding the significants of it, i have even greater respect!

That was excellent & Tinker (Dudley Sutton ) from Lovejoy as William Blake was such a bonus! 😊❤️👍

You just gained a new subscriber! I love your channel. Great work! :)

Such a dark summary of such a fascinating time.

Wow!!! Amazing effort. (y)

super buenos los documentales sobre el romanticismo.muchas gracias por alegramos la vida.

Brilliant

How ironic and how tragic. And how fascinating.

Just listening to this documentary it has something of a morbid beauty.

Thanks

DIDER'S QUOTE PRICELESS!

Peter Ackroyd is one of the greatest biographers of all time, next to A N Wilson. In my humble opinion.

I'd like to learn more about Coleridge and Wordsworth. I am going to keep watching this Romantics youtube playlist. I find all of this stuff so fascinating. I guess there was such creativity in that time just as there is today. I wonder who is the most important thinker of that era?

he cried openly and often !!!

You can watch it as fast as x2 speed

Nature never deceives us it is we who deceive ourselves. Our greatest evils flow from ourselves. Man confuses and confounds time, place and natural conditions. The more we are massed together the more corrupt we become. - J.J. Rousseau

My teacher is tryna get me to watch this. 1 whole hour

oooo I like the music that was playing while he talked about Payne. anyone know the name??

IT'S DAVID TENNANT :D

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, gained a new subscriber cmooon

Hm. Good series of documentaries. by the way, on an unrelated note, is the woman who voiced Annete's letter the voice of Liliana in Dragon Age?

Interesting information about the Romantics, but I was distracted, and amused, by the strange, chubby little narrator walking around and looking menacingly at the camera at every scene change

David Tennant!

For assignment:(

Yeah I'm using this to fall asleep to, not knowing anything about the subject goodnight

Imagination is the only real king amongst men...

PLEASE can someone clear this up; did the guillotine blade get stuck in Louis neck as Mr Ackroyd claims or has he made it up for theatrical effect !?

Listening to this I feel like I was in the Church in the Mosque in the Mandil in the Pagoda in the synagogue in the midst of Nature listening to Faith Wisdom Respect for each other for Flora Fauna Minerals Oceans Skies Earth Man Woman Children Living Dying Alive or Dead.Visible or Invisible Reality or Dreams Hope or Despair. A Detoxifying crucible where being aware of my frailties faults etc I still cherish Hope.I am not depressed....

Blake was one of the truly great Englishmen...

I wish you would indicate in which order these 3 documentaries are!

Anybody got the answers to the worksheet for this?

Is that David Tenant from Doctor Who?? And the other guy is in Doctor Who as well as the Master, I think? I think he also played Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes.

what is the music in this

10:28 there's a coherence and cohesion mistake.

Interesting, i was watching something about Ayatollah khomeinei and HE published his revolutionary manifesto in exile as well. It seems thats the only safe way? We got a couple of exiles, where can we find THEIR latest work?

Eu romântico, despeadamente romântico. Eu sou teor e paixão pela literatura

Peter Ackroyd sounds like that 'Woman' (Roman) character in Monty Python's Life of Brian, who calls out names, Wobbert? Bwyan!!

Why does everyone in this look like they are in a horror movie? William Blake looks pretty dang scary!

This guy looks and sounds like if someone went “What if Elmer Fudd was extremely British?”

Empire was very much alive for africans and native americans and many other cultures around the globe

Proof of all CLAIMS Required.

The documentary is nice but the narrator sounds like a bad version of a comic book villain in an animated television series.

slay

Do I feel ashamed to be Human?Yes I do. Do I feel angry against myself?yes I am. Why so much negative emotions in Humankind of which I am mea culpa. It's hard to be envious jealous greedy selfish and the horrible feelings... Now greediness fuels the climate change for the worst and its ultimate annihilation.A Gift given to Humanity that Humans trampled and is still stamping upon...o I am so depressed..

...and yet man remains in chains. Only the masters changed.

The wrestling match between passion and reason brought in its wake liberty ?

Doctor Who!

“....everything in the world could be explained and understood.” I think this has been the boast of every age, hasn’t it? Not that Diderot’s contribution was trite! It’s just that, when men struggle to throw a rope around “Everything,” “Everything” morphs into something larger and more complex than the latest rope-thrower could possibly have imagined! And Diderot’s “world” was France....it’s the only world he knew. The WORLD was something so much more vast than he could ever have imagined. Once his great work was finished, people could not realize what they didn’t know, and everything devolved into violence and a Hell none of them wanted or foresaw. Men think, and people suffer.

Ms Coe gang rise up

Spanish subs please.

22:21 pole dancing, its the best part of this video lol

a duck singing on frog's beats... a class orchestra.

A storvy of vevolution and political intvigue.

Is da overview hindi ch dsdo

Russo's revelation is wonderful and sadly true..

Who decided that David should put on an English accent when quoting a French writer

its dr who

What do I know? Que sais-je? Nothing. Nothing. As I vegetate What a malpropism Even vegetable grows The linearity of birth idleness death the only horizon O how I admire the thinkers the philosophers How I hate the politicians whose life missions and visions run along the way of selfishness greed lies ....

I love the fact of; the concept of a "god" and or religion was and is, being slowly dismantled and eventually will be in it's totality left in the past, forgotten forever by knowledge, science and technology. Long live the Atheist Philosophers and Enlightened One's!

but this not if concern and also is suggests born upon the what, right? Anyone agree?

SO, if everyday life is our prison, how is one supposed to live off air itself? How did these philosophers expect (since the Romantics were against the industrialization), for people to eat and live? Is there no balance between a healthy spirit and the need for work?

Says Dr. Who.

If thinking was so dangerous back then, it's a good thing they weren't smoking that purp!?

Did youtube recently finally give up trying to represent real names?

"We will never have freedom until the last king, general and banker have been strangled by the entrails of the last priest, AI technology and corporate tyrants.

He fails to mention even one woman in this movement. I do love and read Peter Ackroyd, and I think his writing is important. But in leaving out half of mankind, his works continue to be always in question.

Now that I think of it, why is "William Blake" wearing a leather jacket? Not exactly representing the good man or the 18th century... 🤷‍♀️

Why do we always have the feeling that we somehow know more than the previous generations? Is it because of technology, or change in our clothes? Historically oblivious primitives thought of the previous generation as gods; we think of ours as misguided activists. Do we know more, or better? Maybe history teaches only one thing: namely that all human endeavors are useless and that nothing ultimately changes. Not only "the sun also rises," but its shining is indifferent to everything.

where is slavery in the American Experiment or its settler-colonialism?

Ronnie Barker. with a lisp.....

some creepiest scenes ever....

Nicolas Jacques Pelletier was the first victim of the guillotine. Say his name

It's fascinating and ironic that the same people who could create so much artistic beauty could also produce so much political ugliness.

For people just studying the English poets start at 15 minutes x

Much more than this series suggests, Blake had levity, and Rousseau was laughable. Most people who enjoy comedians of the Left, who also know something about them both, would emphasize that difference as I do here.
