About the book >.>.> PThis is not a learned study of Romantic Art but a narrative of the struggles emotions and works of artists whom I would choose to call romantic living at various periods during the last three hundred years. Starting with a special interest in one or two individuals I found it necessary to go back (or forward) and learn more of others (in this respect being much helped by the suggestions and sym- pathetic interest of Mr. T. W. Earp); and though some like Claude and Delacroix are well known there are those who have sunk into such ob- scurity like Salvator Rosa and Joseph Vernet that an account of them without the addition of much original research may be comparatively fresh at the present day. Occasional clearings suggested there was a continuous path some- where and a certain amount of hatchet work in the jungle of time disclosed a road from past to present with the promise of excitements that it seemed to me had now been forgotten or were very vaguely recalled Bandits in a Landscape is the title of days of several of Salvator’s delicacy (SP)
