The modern mind and imagination have been altered and influenced by few characters so profoundly as by a poorly educated Swiss watchmaker’s son who ran away from home at age fifteen. He wandered, read, lectured, lied, fell in love several times, fought wars of the pen with his contemporaries, and reintroduced sentiment in a world of rationalism, and nature-worship in a period of high refinement. The growth of Romanticism owed him much, and he has been praised and blamed for everything from the French Revolution to Hitler, from the Hippy Movement to organic foods. Join Thomas Banks on Friday, February 24th when he introduces the man who remade modern education, modern politics, and the European mind.
Instructions and links for joining this webinar will be distributed one hour before the live session begins on February 24th.
