Latest Episodes
- Season 1 Episode 3: Eternity
Peter Ackroyd's docu-drama chronicles the Romantics' search for meaning in a world without God. Following the revolutions of the late 18th century, people tried to define themselves without regard to the sanctions of religion and the Church. Artists and writers including John Keats, Lord Byron and Percy Shelley delved into the uncharted depths of the unconscious, emerging with new ways of thinking and of conducting their lives
- Season 1 Episode 2: Nature
Peter Ackroyd's documentary drama examines how Romantic writers reacted to the Industrial Revolution, exploring the birth of the modern concept of nature. Poet John Clare found freedom in the open countryside, but the shift in cultural attitudes that came with the Enclosure Acts drove him insane, while nature and scientific progress inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - a prophetic novel that is still relevant today
- Season 1 Episode 1: Liberty
Dramatised documentary in which Peter Ackroyd traces the effects of literature on historical movements, and examines how the ideas of 18th-century philosophers Denis Diderot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau played a part in the development of the French Revolution. The programme also explores their impact on British poets and writers, including William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. David Tennant, Dudley Sutton and David Threlfall star
