Excerpt from The Romantic Movement in English Poetry In its origin, prose is in no sense an art, and it never has and never will become an art, strictly speaking, as verse is, or painting, or music. Gradually it has found out its capacities; it has discovered how what is useful in it can be trained to beauty; it has learned to set limits to what is unbounded in it, and to follow, at a distance, some of the laws of verse. Gradu ally it has developed laws of its own, which, however, by the nature of its existence, are less definite, less peculiar to it as a form, than those of verse. Everything that touches literature as literature affects prose, which has come to be the larger half of what we call literature.

The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776 and 1789 represented a new flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacity for love. This extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake's 'Tyger', Coleridge's 'Khubla Khan' and Shelley's 'Ozymandias' alongside verse from less familiar figures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary Robinson. We also see familiar poets in an unaccustomed light, as Blake, Wordsworth and Shelley demonstrate their comic skills, while Coleridge, Keats and Clare explore the Gothic and surreal.

They amount to a declaration of war upon both the form and the spirit of the classical tradition; and - apart from an attack upon the Unities, which Speaks for itself - they may be reduced to three. According to him, classical Tragedy fails, because it is mechanical; because it is monotonous; because it sacrifices everything to elegance, particularly elegance of styles Let us hear what he has to say upon each of these in turn.

Excerpt from The Beginnings of the English Romantic Movement: A Study in Eighteenth Century Literature Taking these three elements, Subjectivity, Picturesqueness, and Reaction, it is easy to see why the Romantic movement in England, in Germany, and in France, went for its inspiration back to the Middle Ages. Romanticism is certainly wider in connotation than Mediaevalism; and in the discussion of Eng lish Romanticism attempted in this book, the definitions of Heine and Madame de Stael would have to be supplemented and amplified to be adequate. But in the Middle Age lay just the material for which the Romantic Spirit yearned. Its religious, military and social life and all forms of mediaeval art can hardly be better characterized than by the word Picturesque; and souls weary of form and finish, of dead perfection, of faultily faultless monotony, naturally sought the opposite of all this in the literature and thought of the Middle Ages. And as the Classical Augustans had neglected this period above all others, and treated it with contempt, the Reactionists began with an attempt to revivify and brighten this forgotten Mediaeval life.

Excerpt from The Use of Color in the Verse of the English Romantic Poets The present study of color as it appears in English poetry has for its chief field the verse of the Romantic Period, as found in the works of Scott, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. I' o trace the use which Victorian poets have made of their rich heritage of color, to see what new possibilities they have dis covered in old color-terms, or what additional terms they have adopted from prose or minted for themselves, would be a task both delightful and profitable. It does not, however, lie within the scope of the present paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is prefaced by an introduction, in which, and wisely, no attempt is made to expound 'the finer subtleties of poetry. Such lofty matters, even if they were not obscure in more regards than one, are vainly set before the young, whose relish for poetry is due to feeling - which, it is hoped, will refine itself into taste and not to intellectual criticism. At the same time, the Introduction points out the characteristics of the poets of whose work the Editors have given specimens, and they are set forth in such a manner as to be appreciated without difficulty by a Senior Class. The notes are intended to explain words, phrases and allusions which would, without comment, fail to be understood by some of the learners for whom the book has been compiled.
