Excerpt from The Use of Color in the Verse of the English Romantic Poets

The present study of color as it appears in English poetry has for its chief field the verse of the Romantic Period, as found in the works of Scott, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats.

I' o trace the use which Victorian poets have made of their rich heritage of color, to see what new possibilities they have dis covered in old color-terms, or what additional terms they have adopted from prose or minted for themselves, would be a task both delightful and profitable. It does not, however, lie within the scope of the present paper.
