Ossian. - The beginnings of the Romantic Revival in England stand out in marked contrast to the works which represent to us the triumphs of the eighteenth century. At a time when Goldsmith, Churchill, Young, Blair and Thomson, Falconer and Gray were the acknowledged exponents of English poetry the first notes of revolt against formal, classic, and conventional expression were sounded through Western Europe by an obscure Scottish clergyman. In Ossian, poor in ideas and limited in range as it was, the eighteenth century found something of the mystery lying round and underneath Nature, of the heroes of dim legend and the spirits of the mist and the wind, and from its revolt of unfettered lyricism, the Romantic reaction may be said to date its inception.
