[4] For additions to this bibliography see “The Journal of Germanic
Philology,” II, 239 (1898), in which is an article by Mr. Camillo von
Klenze giving a comprehensive résumé of books and articles dealing with
the Nature-sense. To these books should be added “Types of Scenery
and Their Influence on Literature,” the Romanes lecture at Oxford,
1898, by Sir Archibald Geikie, a delightful, sketchy study of Cowper,
Thomson, Burns, Macpherson, Scott, and Wordsworth in relation to
their environment; “The Treatment of Nature in the Works of Nicholas
Lenau” (The University of Chicago Press, 1902), by Mr. von Klenze,
an admirably full and discriminating study of the attitude toward
Nature as shown by one of the most important German contemporaries
of Tennyson and Browning; “The Treatment of Nature in German
Literature from Günther to the Appearance of Goethe’s ‘Werther,’” a
careful presentation of the development of the love of Nature in the
half-century before 1774 (Max Batt, The University of Chicago Press,
1902); “The Feeling for Nature in Old English Poetry,” by Elizabeth
Deering Hanscom (“Journal of English and Germanic Philology,” V, 439).
