	Thomas Percy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His greatest contribution to the world is considered to be his Reliques of Ancient English Poetry (1768), the first of the great ballad collections, which was the one work most responsible for the ballad revival in English poetry that was a significant part of the Romantic movement.
		The Reliques of Ancient English Poetry set the stage not only for Robert Burns, but also for Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads.
		The book is based on an old manuscript collection of poetry, rescued by Percy in Humphrey Pitt's house at Shifnal, Shropshire, from the hands of the housemaid who was about to light the fire with it.

		Thomas Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, first published in 1765, and Thomas Warton's History of English Poetry, the first volume of which appeared in 1774, are pre-eminent among the works of literary scholarship which catered to, and promoted, this fascination with the middle Ages.
		In the Reliques, Percy sought to atone 'for the rudeness of the more obsolete poems,' by concluding each of the three volumes 'with a few modern attempts in the same kind of writing,' which were offered as a palliative for the reader who had struggled through the 'ancient' ballads (Reliques 1:8).
		Indeed, Warton seems to disapprove of Anglo-Saxon poetry because it does not contain that which he and others treasured in the Ossianic poems – hopelessly romanticized 'native images of that people in their pagan state' which were remarkably free of the 'religious rhapsodies' (and Catholic, at that) which Warton and other readers apparently found offensive.

		She has command of major poetic powers in her ballads, and the ground in which her command is rooted is establishd by her devotion to--and thru her devotion, her deep and extensive knowledge of---the poetry of the Sublime.
		Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry (1765), the Gothic romance after Walpole's Castle of Otranto (1764), Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience (1789): these are high water marks of the new tide.
		In Jack Spicer's poetry elements of the Romantic "World" appear as expressive statements of the personality--we are aware in his work not of the reality of an other world, but of the reality of an isolated psyche.

	Remarks On The Reliques Of Ancient Poetry — Fairies
		The origin of vulgar superstitions is a very curious subject, which, leading us often into the most remote antiquity, lays open the early history of nations, but is generally obscure in proportion to its antiquity.
		" Piron is an ancient castle, situated on the coast of Lower Nor mandy, opposite to Jersey and Guernsey.
		Permit me to conclude this long, and to enliven this dull note, by recommending to the notice of your readers the following elegant translation of one of the prettiest poems on the subject of fairies; in which the characteristic and appropriate levity of the original is very happily preserved.

		Percy's rediscovery of medieval English poetry also inspired poets of the Romantic revival in Germany.
		Percy, who became Bishop of Dromore in 1782, drew most of the ballads for Reliques from the Percy Folio, a seventeenth-century manuscript which he acquired from his friend Humphrey Pitt of Shifnal in Shropshire.
		The manuscript was saved from destruction by Percy when he discovered it "being used by the Maids to light the fire." The manuscript, now in the British Museum, is a collection of materials of all kinds, but most important for its preservation of ballad poetry.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dromore
		In the adjoining parish of Kilbroney (church of St. Bronach, a virgin saint of the district) half a mile north-east of Rostrevor is a graveyard with the venerable ruins of a church, an ancient stone cross, and a little to the west St. Brigid's well.
		It was an unfortunate beginning; for the Protestant historian, Sir James Ware, says Tod was degraded for incontinence and poisoned himself in prison in London.
		Two of his successors distinguished themselves more creditably: Jeremy Taylor, who was bishop of these three dioceses from 1661 to 1667, an eloquent preacher and a writer of genius, and Thomas Percy, Bishop of Dromore from 1782 to 1811, whose "Reliques of Ancient Poetry" had a great and enduring influence on English literature.

	A Coleridge Companion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Based on a seventeenth-century manuscript (now known as the "Percy Folio"), the Reliques, first published in 1765, and revised and augmented in three subsequent editions before the end of the century (1767, 1775, 1794), was largely responsible for the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century revival of interest in older English and Scottish poetry.
		Coleridge's achievement in The Ancient Mariner, in terms both of indebtedness to tradition and of departure from it, can properly be appreciated only when one has a clear idea of the narrative and metrical characteristics of the ballads from which he [137] drew his inspiration.
		Similarly, the crude superstitious animism of the typical medieval ballad, like the gratuitously horrific supernatural of the later ballads of the Gothic revival, is spiritualised, internalised, and transformed into a powerful imaginative instrument to probe the dark recesses of the Mariner's troubled psyche.

		It was received with contempt by critics such as Johnson, Ritson and Warburton for its obvious scholastic errors and self-evident tamperings with the texts - so evident that Ritson refused to believe the manuscirpt in fact existed - it nonetheless found an immediate and enduring audience.
		It made an epoch in the history of English literature and promoted with lasting effect the revival of interest in our older poetry (see DNB).
