In this, the third episode on Isaiah Berlin and Romanticism I focus on a couple of examples of the period from 1779-1830 as well as 1980s and 2010 representations and reflections on this late 18th century and early 19th century period.

*Special Correction- in this episode Mitch gives commentary on the wonderful film "Tender Mercies" and the lead actress is Tess Harper, not Kate Mulgrew ( both fabulous ).

More on this mini series, here:In this, our new special topic, “All About Aesthetics”, I will begin a miniseries on Isaiah Berlin’s theory of Romanticism, taken from his important lectures in the 1960s at the National Gallery and elsewhere, and starting from his unequivocal assertion that Romanticism was “the single greatest shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred” I will inquire into the many effects of this shift, most of which are taken for granted and have been indispensable to forming the works of art, both popular and high, that we have most enjoyed or given importance.

The series will include discussion of MGM musicals in Hollywood, melodrama films, novels, standup comedy, improvised jazz performances and much more.
