as he liked on of Mr. F. Association , which was r . Sealy , seconded by d Mr. Abbot , e - elected . of a rule to " ESSAYS IN ROMANTIC LITERATURE . " ( By George Wyndham . Macmillan & Co. , 128. 6d . ) The title may lead the reader to expect , what he will find the book does not give , for , there is not a maintained association with romance , so much as a history of literature classed as romantic . There is a feeling also , caused by the first essay , that the author is making a case . It may be that the period he gives with such chronological exactness was the most fertile of romantic writings , but many will not agree that there is no romance in the ancient classics . If romance results from welcoming the symbols , perforce fantastic , in which foreign lands and far - away ages have sought their intimations of immortality and to express doubtful wonder " it is likely that the Greeks were able to so treat other times than their own , and make their writings strangely enchanting to readers both then and now . Many will be ready to say that the Greeks succeeded in doing this . But this is not a book to be searched for points of disagreement , but to be read for instruction and enjoyment . Any wishful to learn some of the his- toric facts of writings of high merit , but meagre favour , can make the acquaintance of no surer guide than this author . He was a careful student Abbot , Major and sought and tested all the available evidence Mr G. Butters , which bore in some way on this literature . Facts Advisory Com as carried . ven .

Paul Foley , of value and interest which age had made obscure etton Sugwas ) , he cleared and established . So much is this the case that one or two of the essays are only saved from being text - books by the claim of comment , apt reference and personal love for the subject which are everywhere so evident . In this connec- tion is " North's Plutarch . " Wyndham loved this classic ; his political and military experiences gave him soul - kinship with the ancients who chose similar callings , and of whom Plutarch writes with easy admiration . But the essay is more than an emphasis of literary excellences ; it amounts to an analysis of our first biographer , of his act , his skill and of the qualities which made him the OURT is and Mr. J. el , Leominster , most human of the ancient writers . Then it is a wo headlights , painstaking sketch of Amyst and North , the two es in diameter , men who make Plutarch easiest to read , and appre- ciate , in English , and who do not , in the transla p.m. th , at 9.10 - ption , destroy the witchery of phrasing found at when he saw times in the original . ith two power him and he itness said his replied , " Is Witness said They are over uld have them the Supt . at n to erase the ps . In conse He To the few Britons who have tried to compre- hend Shakespeare , Wyndham may be added . knew more than that Shylock was a Jew . His essay does not pretend to treat the " Plays , " but the references them show the respectful intimacy of a love and the exact , minute knowledge of the devoted student . Here he is chiefly concerned with the " Poems " and , while not exhaustive , emphasises their quality and shows their subtle beauty . It is almost a misfortune to Shakespeare , as to the real lovers of poetic art , that the plays are so good that to many they obscure the Poems , but this author gives the reminder that the writer of Venus and Adonis " was the best exponent in this art among many who also were excellent . For grace of words , simile , glamour , expression of the feelings and the works . One moods of life and delicate reference to current Leominster and give defendant ad left a copy se . said he had the lamps were other was 25 affairs Shakespeare is second to none . Keats may that lamps had be a modern rival . And it is in the charm of the " Poems " we are asked to look for romance , and it posted up and e aware of the is there if this quality is the power to make the reader feel enchanted by imagination plus the real . Quite the most exciting essay is on " Elizabethan ight with tissue adventure in Elizabethan literature . " Wyndham de- now the lights lights in the glorious deeds of the great Queen's reign , when the daring rovers went forth for fame must argue that and wealth , and in some cases , as with Drake , to re to administer undo the power of Spain . He would have been a arked that they ready volunteer for the ships that were to sail for ond offence , but the lands of treasure to exploit and of terrors to the regulations challenge . It was to the rich countries of the East The Chairman cars should set men looked , but it was the new land of the west law as regards they discovered . They had romance in the search , it was in their expectations , nor did it vanish when these were tested by what they found . he had done in He asked if the d , and why he not begin cross- se was closed . If , as we and said hey , that a place is romantic which casts over us a pleasing spell and stirs the sense of wonder , it can be understood how the . Elizabethan explorers felt it , when they saw the lands and sailed the mysterious seas of a world as strange to them as Mars would be to a traveller who reached it from our planet . And in Elizabethan literature is the very spirit of those years , there is romance so evident that no argument is needed to prove it . To the many readers of the " Leominster News " this essay alone should make them wish to read the book because of the frequent mention of Richard Hacklust , born at Byton , 1552 . GEO .
