This collection of essays and excerpts address the central points of debate concerning the nature and value of Romanticism, a movement in the arts and literature that originated in the late 18th century. It is the first attempt to bring together the classic statements, from Walter Pater to the present on the general subject of Romanticism, and particularly on the nature of the English Romantic Movement. Useful page notes and bibliographic listings add significantly to this distinctive and critical overview.
Editors: Robert F. Gleckner (Wayne State University) and Gerald E. Enscoe (Franklin and Marshall College)
