Greetings from the part of Poland that is still sometimes referred to as "Kongresówka" in reference to the Congress of Vienna! The rump Kingdom of Poland created by the Congress might have been small and attached to the Russian Empire, but it (at least on the paper) had pretty wide-ranging autonomy including its own constitution, which was something that Russia itself (or most of the European monarchies) didn't have at the time. So for a moment, it seemed that there were, in fact, some good news for Poles (spoiler, it went south from there). BTW I really hope that "this was good news for everybody except for the Poles" period truly ended for good in 1991. It was interesting to see you describe Romanticism as a force and expression of conservatism. It is true to an extent but Romanticism also had a different side, both inspiring to an extent and being inspired by many revolutionary movements across Europe, seeking to undermine or overthrow the conservative order, especially those of nationalistic flavor. Polish Romanticism certainly was that way for obvious reasons, although now that I think of it Zygmunt Krasiński, in particular, expressed that conservative aspect of Romanticism.

This might get mentioned later on in the series, but the Greek War of Independence (Greece vs the Ottoman Empire) was another manifestation of that idea of romanticism: many westerners volunteered for the Greek Forces and the British, French, and Russians sent aid to Greece to help it fight its war against the Ottomans. They did this under the idea that they were fighting to liberate the “cradle of Western Civilization”. Lord Byron would go on to volunteer and eventually be killed in action in the war.

I have to disagree with you on your interpretation of the novel Frankenstein. When Frankenstein created his 'monster', it was his FEELING of overwhelming terror that made him abandon his creation, run away from it. The 'monster' was kind and gentle, and it was the unreasonable prejudice of the people around him who embittered him and eventually made him turn against society. In my opinion, the very opposite of your interpretation is true. As long as everyone's acting reasonable, things are fine. That is evidenced when the 'monster' seeks shelter with the blind, and as they can't see how hideous he is, they get along well. As soon as feeling enters the picture, things fall apart.

Correction: Ludwig van Beethoven's name! (van, not von) - While both have a surface meaning "of/from" (i.e. "from Bettenhoven"), the German "von" is generally used to denote nobility. This is an important distinction! Beethoven was born to a family of middle-class musicians, and detested class divisions entirely. To tie this into the previous few episodes, Beethoven was a supporter of enlightenment philosophy and was very interested in the social outcomes of the French Revolution, at one point considering moving to Paris. His monumental third symphony was even composed with the working title "Bonaparte" (retracted for multiple reasons, but famously also from a fit of rage upon learning of Napoleon's self-crowning as emperor - Today, the symphony is simply subtitled "Eroica", or "Heroic").

In today's world, the wide spread distribution of information can be achieved at almost zero cost, but before the printing press the cost was prohibitively expensive. This is why there was such an explosion of science, philosophy, discover, and war in Europe. It's not that brilliant people didn't live everywhere else throughout time, it's that their ability to spread their ideas was impossibly limited. For example, I highly doubt Galileo was the first person ever to discover that objects drop at the same rate, but he was the first to discover it and be able to widely distribute his discovery.

Beethoven is really an oddball as far as trying to classify him as a Romantic or not. First of all, he was a major supporter of the moderately liberal French order, but hated that Napoleon took a crown. His music is very dramatic in a way that departed from Haydn and Mozart, but it's still not the complete Romanticism of Tchaikovsky or Wagner. Like, Beethoven was intensely personal in a way that makes it more like the Sturm und Drang period, especially with its heavy rhythmic emphasis. The composers of the late romantic were much more focused on creating a scene with lush descriptions of nature; they also had a much more melodic emphasis. In terms of fine art, Beethoven would be a very dramatic and brooding portrait; Wagner would be a landscape.

I agree with what you say. I think of Beethoven as a bridge between Classical/Enlightenment and Romantic styles.

The Enlightenment, its heirs in the revolutionary ideas, and industrialisation all come together at roughly the same time, and have much in common - the focus on reason is expressed in technological innovation and market economy, the ideal of a free-thinking individual is exemplified by the self-made businessman, the rule of the human mind over wild nature is obvious in industrialisation. So to just focus on one of these connections and ignore the other, is only half of the picture.

My Western Civ professor told us the Papal delegation had their way with the Vienna Boys Choir. Somethings never change?

Frankenstein is more of a mixture than firmly romantic though. Like Victor Frankenstein’s own feelings kind of lead to all the trouble - he’s disgusted by the creature he creates so he flees upon seeing it which leads to a lot of the issues in the novel amongst other things

Balance of Power concerns go back to at least 1688, when the League of Augsburg formed to oppose France's expansion because it would upset the balance of power. Then one of the reasons France and Spain were willing to back the American colonies (and nobody was willing to back the British) was because British victory in 1763 had tilted the balance of power too far in favor of the British.

obviously im going to point out the major error of france still being in control of the german provences and the lowlands, even though they were all given back to their previous owners, as goes for chunks of french colonies going to britain (india especially). pretty major error considering the fact that this gave britain a huge boost and the ability to eclipse its colonial rivals.

Hearing Percy Shelly referred to as "Mary Shelly's husband" makes me giddy. We've been studying "Arcadia" in my drama class so... yeah.

Is that really what Frankenstein promotes? Dr. Frankenstein is introduced as a hopeless Romantic, obsessed with outdated and obsolete science to the mockery of his academic colleagues. He isn't "reason run amok", he's "yesterday's ideas run amok".

For a moment I thought that it would be a Vienna circle video.
