Reactions to the Enlightenment emphasis on cold, hard reason would result in the Romantic era, which emphasized the emotional dimension of the human person. On today's episode, Rabbi Rocklin will answer the following questions:

  1. How did the French Revolution, which was steeped in Enlightenment thought, also end up giving rise to Romanticism? 
  2. What role did Wordsworth's upbringing in the Lake District play in his development as a Romantic poet? 
  3. In what sense does Coleridge's poetry, with its emphasis on the interconnectedness of nature, lead to the notion that God is not a loving, covenantal God?
