Excerpt from Thomas Percy Und William Shenstone: Ein Briefwechsel Aus Der Entstehungszeit Der Reliques of Ancient English Poetry Damals nannte Percy’s Mitarbeiter und Korrespondent Ro bert Anderson, der Herausgeber der British Poets, in einem Nachruf auf den dahingegangenen Freund die Religues of Ancient English Poetry ‘a work which constitutes an era in the history of English literature in the eighteenth und auch vor der strengen Kritik der neuesten Forschung ist diese hohe Bewertung zu vollem Rechte bestehen geblieben. Die ersten Worte der Vorrede, durch die Sir George Douglas Miss Gaussen’s gerade veroffentlichter percy-biographie 2) seinen Segen erteilt, lauten: 'there are few modern books to which the much-abused epithet of 'epochmaking’ is more applicable than to Bishop Percy’s ‘reliques’ An ahnlich lautenden Urteilen von andern, berufensten Seiten ist kein Mangelz3) Wir erkennen riickschauend in den Religues eine befreiende Tat von augenblicklich zundender Wirkung, die sie Young’s Sendschreiben uber Originalkomposition und Mac pherson’s Ossianischen Gedichten, Chatterton’s Traumen vom Mittelalter und Horace Walpole’s groteskem Schauerroman vom Schlosse von Otranto neben oder fiberordnet.
