Home | William Blake | John Keats | William Wordsworth | Mary Shelley | Samuel Coleridge

"The categories which it has become customary to use in distinguishing and classifying 'movements' in literature or philosophy and in describing the nature of the significant transitions which have taken place in taste and in opinion, are far too rough, crude, undiscriminating -- and none of them so hopelessly as the category 'Romantic'." — Arthur O. Lovejoy "On the Discriminations of Romanticisms" (1924)
