Troy, William | October 11, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book, "The Romantic Agony," by Mario Praz. The romantic movement, like the "fatal woman" to which it gave birth, has been all things to all men, the social and political historian, the moralist, the sentimental biographer have all had their fling with it and left it at the end as complex a mass of conflicting ideals and tendencies as they found it. It was only natural that a scholar like Mario Praz should come along who, concentrating on its erotic aspects, should offer us something like the psychopathology of the movement.
