This podcast will deal with the ideas of Romanticism in the early 1800's and contextualize it with the Industrial Revolution. As well, we will try to define what exactly Romanticism is. At the end of the podcast, there are two selected passages I read to get the feel of how Werther rejected the world and eventually his life. Romanticism: 1. Counter-Culture (which can be argued) 2. Rejection of the Enlightenment. 3. Emphasizes Art and Nature(with a big A and N!) If you have any questions, suggestions, or objections about this podcast, please email me at jgarratt@elon.edu The songyou here is by Joe Sibol and the song is called "Lips to my Lips." I got it from Pod Safe Audio.
