Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from James Thomson One or two points of some fresh interest on the life and work of Thomson, directly due to the revived attention which at the present hour is bestowed upon this poet, have come under my notice since this volume was in type. The first of these concerns the opinion of Mr Gosse on the eighteenth century renaissance. In Mr Gosse´s recently published study on Modern English Literature he gives a much more important and, as I think, a juster value to the work of Thomson in relation to this movement than he does in his essay on Gray, to which I refer in my introductory chapter. "It was Thomson," he says in his last book, "who made the first resistance to the new classical formula, and it is, in fact, Thomson who is the real pioneer of the whole romantic movement, with its return to Nature and simplicity." Further on he adds: - "His extraordinary freshness, his new outlook into the whole world of imaginative life, deserve a very different recognition from what is commonly awarded to him." This verdict, coming from a critic of the high qualifications of Mr Gosse, is a remarkable bit of testimony in the wide approbation which has of late years been pronounced upon the poet of The Seasons.
