Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint George, Vol. 7: Saint George Was Founded in 1898 as the Journal of the Ruskin Society of Birmingham, in 1901 the Journal of the Ruskin Union, London, Was Incorporated With It, and It Now Appears as the Amalgamated Journal of These Societies, and as a National Review Deal No problem of civilized life is more complex, none, perhaps, more interesting, than the way in which successive drifts and tendencies of social life express themselves in successive periods of literature. Why does one age make a necessity of a classical style, while the next age scorns the learned manner? Again, why do minds so diverse in texture, educations so completely unlike, literary influences so various, still in the end appear, for a period, to take one colour, and so form one defined school of letters? Put it in another way: - In literature, as in life, are we but the creatures of circumstance? Or do we instinctively, unconsciously copy one another, and so create a similarity, which gives a recognised name to a period? Not in the hope of finding answers to these questions, but with a wish to consider the special characteristics of the letters of our time, I propose to-day to speak of that quality of modern literature which has won for itself the convenient name of Romantic, and then to hint at some of the results and effects of it.
