BBC Proms - 2010 - Proms Plus - Proms Literary Festival: Romanticism

Matthew Sweet is joined by critic Jonathan Bate and playwright Gabriel Gbadamosi to discuss the shared themes of the Romantic movement - the emotion and intuition which connect its poetry, visual art and music. Romanticism means Brahms, Schumann, Schubert and Chopin but how did their work link to Byron, Keats, Blake and Heine? Recorded in front of an audience at the Royal College of Music.
