S1 E2: Historian Simon Schama explains how the Romantics, driven by the failures of the French revolution and horrors of the industrial revolution, retreated from public life to take a journey into their own minds. He investigates the strange, unsettling images created by Victor Hugo as well as Thomas de Quincey's opium-fueled exploration of the boundaries of madness.
