Revolutionaries and Romantics
by Bruce Bischof Author
This historical study chronicles major developments in the 18th and 19th century Europe. The student will live into the life of the court of Louis XIV at Versailles and gain an understanding of how the French Revolution of 1789 was imminent. The study then moves from the Napoleonic era into the rise of the Industrial Revolution. In contrast to the mathematical/scientific worldview and the horrible living conditions of the factory city, champions of the imagination such as Wordsworth, Blake, and Goethe promoted the counter worldview known as Romanticism.
