This 1893 study of eighteenth-century English literature was the first major study of the early origins of the Romantic movement from 1700 to 1765. The author defines Romanticism, considers the literature and spirit of the age, and examines the revival of things past: the Gothic, chivalry, ballads, Northern mythology, Welsh poetry, as well as the works of Spenser and Milton.
