{"product_id":"the-romantic-revolution","title":"The Romantic Revolution","description":"A compelling and persuasive account of how the Romantic Movement permanently changed the way we see things and express ourselves.\n\nThree great revolutions rocked the world around 1800. The first two - the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution - have inspired the greatest volume of literature. But the third - the romantic revolution - was perhaps the most fundamental and far-reaching. From Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Burns, to Beethoven, Wagner, Berlioz, Rossini and Liszt, to Goya, Turner, Delacroix and Blake, the romantics brought about nothing less than a revolution when they tore up the artistic rule book of the old regime. \n\nThis was the period in which art acquired its modern meaning; for the first time the creator, rather than the created, took centre-stage. Artists became the high priests of a new religion, and as the concert hall and gallery came to take the place of the church, the public found a new subject worthy of veneration in paintings, poetry and music. Tim Blanning's sparkling, wide-ranging survey traces the roots and evolution of a cultural revolution whose reverberations continue to be felt today.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39666420219989,"sku":"9780753828656N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/3e40a219-4075-4b53-8179-35d4213ba9c7.jpg?v=1644295268","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-romantic-revolution","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
