Well, yeah. That's what I meant. I always thought Romanticism was a turning away from the reality of revolution, which had been kick-started itself by the writings of Voltaire and co during the Englightenment. I think the documentary argued that this still stands, but that Romanticism played a huge part in the revolutionising of Europe that it hadn't been credited with beforehand.
