دانلود کتاب The Beginnings of the English Romantic Movement: A Study in Eighteenth Century Literature

THIS little book gives the results of a search in English literature from 1700 to 1765, for the beginnings of the English Romantic movement. The minor poetry from 1725 to 1765, although desperately dull reading, has satisfactorily rewarded my search. I have reached no startling conclusions, 1;>ut there is some matter in the book that may fairly be called new; and a number of points suggested by previous study have been more fully developed. The Spenserian Revival is treated with some approach to thoroughness, and my list of imitations I believe to be much longer than any other ever printed. In the discussion of Ballad Literature and in the chapter on Gray I have also gone carefully into details. So far as I am aware no book has ever been written on the history of English Romanticism, so that the matter given here is the result of first-hand study.
