CURRENTS AND EDDIES IN THE ENGLISH ROMAN- TIC GENERATION. By Frederick E. Pierce. New Haven: Yale University Press. 342 pages. $3.00. Professor Pierce's book is itself an interesting illustration of that group activity in literature which is its special subject. In devoting himself to the romantic generation he has fallen in with what is almost old enough to be called a Yale tradition. His contribution has been modified by .the increasingly critical temper of the Zeitgeist, and perhaps by incalculable personal factors. The relation of his work to that of Professor Beers and to the supplementary study of Professor Phelps is partly sug-

gested by the title but not wholly disclosed.
