3/3. Eternity. Byron (Joseph Millson ), Keats (Nicholas Shaw ) and Shelley (Blake Ritson ) lived short lives. But the radical way they lived them changed the world. At the age of 19, Shelley wrote The Necessity of Atheism. It was banned and burned, but it freed the Romantics from religion. Seeking meaning in a godless universe, they replaced religion with poetry, pioneering the notions of free love, celebrity and secular idolatry that are at the centre of modern Western culture.
Martin Savage also stars, as Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Director/Producer Sam Hobkinson
