More than Mounts the Eye: Coleridge, Byron, De Quincey by Marc Porée

“…Thomas De Quincey fait le cheminement inverse dans Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets (1838-1840), lorsqu’il affirme que ces "humbles montagnes", peuplées de montagnards humbles mais d’une grande force morale, bien qu’ayant la préférence de Wordsworth, méritent toute l’attention critique possible.Les deux parties devraient converger autour de la question suivante: pourquoi les romantiques de la première génération ont-ils dû de façon répétée repousser les accusations de modération et d’esprit de clocher, quand il n’était que trop évident de voir que le rang éminent de leurs productions dépassait de loin la prétendue "humilité" de leur cadre indigène ?…”
