Book Description
A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century, first published in 1926, presents the great artistic and literary innovations of the Romantic movement according to an often overlooked and unacknowledged definition of ‘Romanticism’, which is of particular relevance in the consideration of the English Romantic spirit: pertaining to the style of the Christian and popular literature of the Middle Ages. The author recapitulates the key contributions of English poets – including Scott, Coleridge and Keats - in light of their recovery of certain themes and leitmotifs that clearly distinguish the Romantic style. In addition, the development of the Romantic movement in France and Germany is given some attention, and the specific tendencies of their respective approaches is considered in relation to England. The emergence of the Pre-Raphaelites is investigated, and a tentative evaluation of the progress of English Romanticism in the nineteenth century is offered.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century Historians of French and German literature are accustomed 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 Eng land's share 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 be gan 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 precisely a romantic school or an all-pervading romantic fashion in England.
