Sturm und Drang

Although I seem to recall that when I studied history of literature, it was
simply called romanticism.

Congratulations Mark who takes the win over a tightly packed field. Welcome also to John.

Calvin's quiz is now on summer recess and will resume in early January. Merry Christmas all.

cheers,
calvin

[Joe Masters]

Thanks for the welcome but John is Joe who moved to a new computer and
didn't set up Unison correctly. John is my given name, Joe is what
family and friends call me. I'll answer to either.

Hmm. Can I get a half-point for my answer? It is correct that
grips move scenery -- but on stage rather than in movies, if
Wikipedia is correct.

They do also move cameras, also per Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_grip

However your answer might also have been correct. (I don't remember
what it was.)

There does seem to be some regional variation in the meaning/use of the term "grip" (a/c to Wikipedia anyway) so I'll allow Mark's answer.
