The late... Mr. Strutt... in distinguishing between what was ancient and modern, forgot, as it appears to me, that extensive neutral ground... which, arising out of the principles of our common nature, must have existed in either state of society. Sir Walter Scott, Dedicatory Epistle to Ivanhoe (1817)
There must be a faith accorded to the poet equally with the historian.... The privileges of the romancer only begin where those of the historian cease. It is on neutral ground alone, that, differing from the usual terms of warfare... his greatest successes are to be achieved. William Gilmore Simms, Views and Reviews in American Literature (1845)
Moonlight, in a familiar room... is a medium the most suitable for a romance-writer... a neutral territory somewhere between the real world and fairy-land, where the Actual and the Imaginary may meet, and each imbue itself with the nature of the other. Nathaniel Hawthorne,"The Custom-House," Introductory to The Scarlet Letter (1850)
