The Haunted Castle: A Study of the Elements of English Romanticism - Paperback

by Eino Railo (Author)

1927. The purpose of the present work is to serve as a guide to English horror- romanticism, and by presenting the chief materials used by it and grouping them according to the various themes employed, to show how the main romantic movement that began at the turn of the century and is represented in all shorter expositions of the subject as a suddenly bursting wave, as a kind of spontaneous revolution, is in all essentials the outcome of an organic development with widely spread roots that penetrate deep into the past. Illustrated.
