Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By-Ways Round Helicon: A Kind of Anthology A hundred years ago, when the greatest of the Romantics had already written most of their works for a public as yet small, substantial collections of the British Poets were the vogue. No gentleman´s library was complete without a set, and neither editors, publishers, nor readers thought it strange that such sets should be mainly composed of verses written during the eighteenth century. A respectable critic of that time might or might not have troubled to inspect closely the obscure volumes of one Keats and one Shelley, but he would certainly be acquainted with the best compositions of Mr. Yalden, Mr. Duke and Mr. King, the elegant Dr. Langhorne and the unfortunate Richard Savage. When Wordsworth attacked his predecessors, nothing was seen in his disquisition but his ingratitude to a century which had taught him much, and his fortunate failure to conform to his own inadequate theories: nobody saw an omen.
