"A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century" by Henry A. Beers is a historical exploration of the Romantic movement in English literature, setting it apart from similar movements elsewhere and tracing its development. The book takes a detailed look at the people, events, and cultural changes that shaped Romanticism in England, explaining how it broke away from older, more traditional styles, like the Classical tradition. The author starts by explaining what Romanticism is, and why it matters in English literature. Romanticism is a mix of feelings, ideas, and historical influences, and the book examines how these contribute to the evolution of a very distinguished and refined period in English literary history.
