{"product_id":"romantic-revolution","title":"Romantic Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA compelling and persuasive account of how the Romantic Movement permanently changed the way we see things and express ourselves.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57306326598014,"sku":"NW9780753828656","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780753828656.jpg?v=1778712720","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/romantic-revolution","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
