>>17007484
Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" is literally the only good piece of literature written during the 18th century. Unless you count "Lyrical Ballads" by Coleridge and Wordsworth as 18th century literature. Which TECHNICALLY it is, but I have always viewed Romanticism as more of a 19th century movement, at least in literature.
