The " English renaissance," to use Mr. Wilde's phrase, is a movement manifesting itself both in art and in poetry. In poetry the earliest illustrations are Rosselti, Morris, and Swinburne. See ch. 1o, II, of Stedman's "Victorian poets." As regards Mr. Wilde's claim to trace the origin of the movement to Keats, see his " Lecture on the English renaissance," (just published in the " Seaside library"). For the modern movement in art see Ruskin's various works. Also, Mr. J. Comyns Carr's " Essays on art." Also, Mr. William M. Rossetti's story of the "Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood" (which is supposed to have paved the way for the aesthetic movement) in the Magazine of Art, Aug., 1881. Also, the article, '. The progress of taste," Quarterly A'i view, 188o (in LittelVs.v. 144, p. 451-71). See, also, '"The decorative arts," by William Morris. Also, Mrs. Haweis's " The art of decoration...".
