Excerpt from A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century
On the other hand, it is asserted that the work of mediaeval poets and artists is marked by an excess of sentiment, by over-lavish decoration, a strong sense of color and a feeble sense of form, an attention to detail, at the cost of the main impression, and a con sequent tendency to run into the exaggerated, the fantastic, and the grotesque. It is not uncommon.

Historians of French and German literature are accastomed to set off a period, or a division of their subject, and entitle it Romanticism or the Romantic School Writers of English literary history, while recognizing the importance of England sshare in this great movement in European letters, have not generally accorded it a place by itself in the arrangement of their subject-matter, but have treated it cursively, as a tendency present in the work of individual authors; and have maintained a simple chronological division of eras into the Georgian, the Victorian, etc. The reason of this is perhaps to be found in the fact that, although Romanticism began earlier in England than on the Continent and lent quite as much as it borrowed in the international exchange of literary commodities, the native move ment was more gradual and scattered. It never reached so compact a shape, or came so definitely to !a head, as in Germany and France. There never was I precisely a romantic school or an all-pervading romantic fashion in England.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the birth of English Romanticism, a literary movement in the late 18th century that celebrated medieval life as a counter to the formality and constraint of the time. The author posits that in opposing the reigning classic sentiment, Romanticism became a vehicle for deeper emotional and imaginative expression. By illustrating how the Romantics found inspiration in the Middle Ages through folklore, mythology, and the Gothic, the author argues that this movement unearthed a more profound and spiritual dimension of human experience. By challenging rationalism and formality, Romanticism ushered in an era of subjective, introspective, and imaginative literature that continues to resonate in the contemporary literary landscape. Its enduring legacy lies in expanding the boundaries of artistic expression, encouraging individuality and emotional authenticity.
