The taste of Augustan Rome was already beginning to be replaced by standards derived from Greece, both from the classical Greece of Periclean Athens and from the later Hellenistic era, whose splendid remains were even then being recovered from the volcanic ash of Vesuvius. The Society of Dilettanti sent out Stuart and Revett to Athens in the 1750s to provide the first accurate record of the classical monuments there, and other expeditions followed to Asia Minor. One of their declared purposes was 'to improve our taste', and to substitute the elegance of Greece for the power of Rome. 'The Greek Revival' has long been recognised by architectural historians; but literary historians and critics have neglected the parallel movement in the literature of the time, in spite of the fact that the neo-classicism of the period from 1740 to 1820 was primarily of literary inspiration. Of this phase of taste, which was so fully demonstrated in the great series of exhibitions 'The Age of Neo- Classicism' in London a few years ago, Winckelmann was the prophet, and his work was soon known in England. In this book John Buxton, whose interest in the history of aesthetic taste has been shown in previous books, examines the response of a number of well-known English writers of the time to the Grecian Taste which replaced Augustan Taste. Their response was varied: there may not seem to be any obvious relationship between the work of Blake and Landor yet both were interpreting Greek influences in their individual ways, and Landor was the first to acclaim Blake as one of our greatest poets. / Contents List of Plates Preface 1 Introduction 2 Mark Akenside (1721 70) 3 William Collins (1721 59) 4 Oliver Goldsmith (?1730 1774) 5 William Blake (1757-1827) 6 Walter Savage Landor (1775 1864) 7 Thomas Love Peacock (1785 1866) 8 Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 1822) References Index.
