Excerpt from The World of Romance, Being Contributions to the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, 1856 In the talesn.. the world is one of pure romance.n Mediaeval customs, mediaeval buildings, the medieval Catholic religion, the general social framework of the thirteenth or fourteenth century, are assumed throughout, but it would be idle to attempt to place them in any known age or country…n 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 ‘Endymion’ as rich in imagination, as irregularly gorgeous in language, as full in every vein and fibre of the sweet juices and ferment of the spring. – J. W. Mackail.n
