The Romantics and Us with Simon Schama
The Chambers of the Mind
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
The historian recounts the story of how the Romantics - fuelled by the failures of the French Revolution and horrors of the Industrial Revolution - retreated from the tragic uproar of public life to take a journey into their own minds. Here, long before Freud and Jung and the modern psychological revolution, they discovered the subconscious - something that would have a profound effect on the modern world. Contributors include Tobias Menzies, Peter Doherty, Piotr Anderszewski and David Attenborough
The Romantics and Us with Simon Schama airs on BBC Four HD at 8:00 PM, Monday 3 March. (Subtitles, audio description.)
