Summary "A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century" by Henry A. Beers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the Romantic movement within English literature, distinguishing it from its continental counterparts and exploring its gradual emergence and unique characteristics. It delves into the influences, key figures, and cultural shifts that contributed to the evolution of Romanticism in England, offering a detailed analysis of how it diverges from Classical traditions. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of Romanticism, assessing its definition and significance within the context of English literature. He contrasts it with Classical elements, emphasizing the different attitudes and characteristics that define each style. Beers also notes the challenges of defining Romanticism, as it encompasses a complex blend of emotions, themes, and historical influences from the Middle Ages, with an aim to articulate what makes English Romanticism distinct from its predecessors. The opening sets the foundation for a nuanced exploration of various authors and literary movements that shaped this pivotal period in English literary history.
