And he was a transitional figure in British literature. He was one of the first writers of the “Romantic Period.” He turned back to Elizabethan and early seventeen-century poets, and other eighteenth-century poets outside the tradition of Pope. Of all the romantic poets of the eighteenth century, he is the most independent and the most original. In his earliest work, he seems to go back to the Elizabethan song writers for his models, but for greater part of his life he was the poet of inspiration alone, following no man’s lead, and obeying no voice, but that which he heard in his own mystic soul. Though the most extraordinary literary genius of his age, he had practically no influence upon it. In
