"A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century" by Henry A. Beers is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a continuation of Beers' previous volume on the romantic movement in the 18th century, focusing on how romanticism flourished during the 19th century in England. The main topic of the book revolves around the key figures and influential movements of English romantic literature, emphasizing the evolution and characteristics of romanticism during this period. At the start of the text, the author introduces the fundamental concepts of romanticism, defining it and contrasting it with the previous literary movement of classicism. He underscores how the romantic tradition thrived in the 19th century, reflecting a deep connection to the medieval past and national identity, significantly through the works of major literary figures such as Walter Scott. The opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the various authors and movements that shaped English romanticism, while also addressing critiques of the definitional boundaries of the term 'romanticism' and how it encompasses a range of literary styles and themes.
