"A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century" by Henry A. Beers is a historical exploration of English literature that picks up where the author's previous work left off, looking at the romantic movement's rise in England during the 1800s. The story centers on the important people and powerful changes in romantic writings from England, showing how romanticism grew and what made it special during those years. It begins by explaining what romanticism is all about, how it's different from classicism, and the ways it built upon the past and a sense of national pride, especially through the writings of authors like Walter Scott; this journey sets the scene to look closely at the different writers and styles that shaped English romanticism, as well as to tackle questions about what exactly defines "romanticism" since it covers so many different ways of writing and ideas.
