Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 5 of 6: Collected and Republished The Age of Romance has not ceased; it never ceases; it does not, if we will think of it, so much as very sensibly decline. "The passions are repressed by social forms; great passions no longer show themselves?" Why, there are passions still great enough to replenish Bedlam, for it never wants tenants; to suspend men from bedposts, from improved-drops at the west end of Newgate. A passion that explosively shivers asunder the Life it took rise in, ought to be regarded as considerable: more no passion, in the highest heyday of Romance, yet did. The passions, by grace of the Supernal and also of the Internal Powers (for both have a hand in it), can never fail us. And then, as to ´social forms,´ be it granted that they are of the most buckram quality, and bind men up into the pitifulest straitlaced commonplace existence, - you ask, Where is the Romance? In the Scotch way one answers, Where is it not? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
