This is really good, though I kind of wish it discussed more literature than it does currently. It does have very good information though!!!

I found this to be a great summary of the Romantic era full of its artists, poets, writers, and philosophers. I learned about some artists I didn't even know about from my art history classes (like Washington Allston, Frederic Church, and John Quidor).
