PN 4H0. F3D45* TO WIFEMr AND MY DAUGHTER PREFACE No more has been attempted in the following essay—which may be considered as a by-chapter ^—to the present writer's study on Robert Herrick than to examine the fairy mythology of the British Isles in its connection with, and influence on, English poetry. It aims at tracing the various phases of its development, from the earliest folk- beliefs, still rough and undefined, to the elaborate productions of the XVIIth century, with which English fairy poetry practically came to an end. The estimate of the aesthetic value of such literature has been purposely left aside to give more room for a critical survey of the progressive formation, the modifications, and the decay of the fairy themes, for an historical account of the successive steps that led up from popular tradition to the poetry of art.
