     summary: Contrariwise the word _romantic_, as popularly employed, expresses a shade of disapprobation. Hence the common acceptation of the word _romantic_ in such phrases as a romantic notion, a romantic elopement, an act of romantic generosity.

     summary: In the first canto there are a few archaisms; words like _fere_, _shent_, and _losel_ occur, together with Gothic properties, such as the eremite's sad cell and Paynim shores and Newstead's monastic dome. There can be no question, however, which poem is the more _felt_; no question, either, as to which method is superior--at least as between these two artists, and as applied to subjects of this particular kind. Isabella is in _ottava rima_, The Eve of St. Agnes in the Spenserian stanza.

     summary: So Romance declined; and by the end of the seventeenth century the fashion is completely reversed; the pendulum has swung back; now it is the literature inspired by the old classical models that is real, and handles actual human interests, while Romantic literature has become remote, fictitious, artificial. It would be absurd to speak solemnly of Dyer's debt to Milton; he is an original poet; but the writer of the lines quoted above can never have been blind to the beauties of _L'Allegro_ and _
