The Basic idea behind these part of
the documentary was to summarize the lives of impactful poets and writers of England.
The time was full of the search of liberty and the search of eternal life. They
turned away from the God and to find eternity in their impression on the people
that live after they die. Many of them found it like Keats, Byron, Shelley, and
Coleridge. They all went in search of an individual life, and one free of for a
power that controlled their lives. Byron did not find this due to his choice to
leave his live to public opinion.
