ROMANTIC HERO BIRTHDAYS

'Happy 250th birthday to one of history's great Romantic artists!  People don't usually think of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel as a Romantic Hero, but he's the philosophical equivalent of Beethoven -- born the same year -- and his philosophical preoccupations were just as Romantic and Heroic as Beethoven's musical ones.'
