Download or read book The Romantic Agony written by Mario Praz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1970 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this now-classic study, Praz describes the whole of Romantic literature under one of its most characteristic aspects, that of erotic sensibility. This wide spread mood in literature had a major effect on 19th-century poets and painters, and the affinities between them and their 20th-century counterparts makes this account of the Romantic-Decadents an indispensible guide to the study of modern literature.
