Originally published in 1949, this title was written in order to
help establish a better understanding of the 'stock diction' of
eighteenth-century English poetry, and, in particular, of the
diction commonly used in the description of nature. The language
characteristic of so much of the poetry of this period had been
severely criticized for a long time. But in the twenty or thirty
years prior to publication some effort had been made to review the
subject and the problem. However, several questions still remained
unanswered, and more exhaustive analysis needed to be undertaken.
This volume was an effort to provide answers for some of these
questions and to begin the analysis that was required.
