Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, Vol. 30: And Popular Literature of the Middle Ages When Bishop Percy´s work, the Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, issued from the press, the poetry of our country was in a very weak and languishing condition; for whilst the only poetry read and appreciated by the learned of the day, was that of the philosophic school, the taste of the masses was of a still more debased character, as amongst them nothing was popular but sickly and unnatural pastorals: and thus, between a very questionable philosophy of pantheistic tendency on the one hand, and a mock arcadianism, with its accompaniment of Damons, and Delias, and Strephons, and sheep and brooks and crooks, on the other, nature and truth were lost sight of, and the inspiration of the bard had well nigh become a thing unknown.
