The World of Romance, Being Contributions to the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, 1856 (Classic Reprint)

Medieval customs, mediaeval buildings, the mediaeval Catholic religion, the general social framework of the thirteenth or fourteenth century, are assumed throughout, but it ivould be idle to attempt to place them in any knovjn age or country. .. Their author in later years thought, or seemed to think, lightly of them, calling them crude (as they are) and very young (as they are). But they are nevertheless comparable in quality to Keats s Sndymion as rich in imagination, as irregularly gorgeous in language, as full in every vein and fibre of the svjeet juices and ferment of the spring. J. W. Mackail.
