Imagination and Nature in the Works of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge by Elena Agathokleous Pdf

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The essay deals with the recurring motifs of nature and imagination in the works of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were two of the great poets of the period of Romanticism. With a firm grasp of what writing good poetry meant they also had a vision on how it should be communicated to affect the world in becoming a more ethical and ideal place. Their work was most imaginative and so condensed that required extensive analysis and had the ability to constantly generate new meanings. Both poets shared a great admiration for nature and its enormous complexity and beauty and drew inspiration from it, transcending boundaries of plain logical perception by filtering their stimulations through the filter of their imagination. Their ambition was to create poetry that would open the eyes of the world to the marvel of life and creation thus elevating the spirit to a higher moral level and thus making the world better through their poetry.

Method and Imagination in Coleridge's Criticism by J.R. de J. Jackson Pdf

First published in 1969, this book places Coleridge’s literary criticism against the background of his philosophical thinking, examining his theories about criticism and the nature of poetry. Particular attention is paid to the structure of Biographia Literaria, Coleridge’s distinction between Imagination and Fancy, his definitions of the poetic characters of Shakespeare and Wordsworth, his analysis of the mental state of audiences in theatres, and his interpretations of Paradise Lost, Hamlet and Aeschylus’ Prometheus. The emphasis throughout is on how Coleridge thought rather than what he thought and the process rather than the conclusions of his criticism.

The Symbolic Imagination by J. Robert Barth Pdf

Studying the nature of symbol in Coleridge's work, Father Barth shows that it is central to Coleridge's intellectual endeavor in poetry and criticism as well as in philosophy and theology. He finds symbol to be an essentially religious reality for Coleridge, one that partakes of the nature of a sacrament, especially sacrament as an encounter between material and spiritual reality. Father Barth notes that eighteenth-century poetry was by and large a poetry of metaphor rather than of symbol, a poetry of reference rather than of encounter. In close readings of the poetry of Wordsworth and Coleridge, he shows how they practiced and developed the poetry of symbol. Finally, analyzing the symbolic imagination, the author concludes that it is a phenomenon profoundly linked with the experience of Romanticism itself and with a fundamental change in religious sensibility.

From Imagination to Faerie by Yannick Imbert Pdf

Tolkien is one of our most beloved fantasy writers. Such was the power of his imagination that much has been written on his invented world, languages, and myth. This book is an invitation to tread the paths of Tolkien’s realm, exploring three regions of his work: language, myth, and imagination. We will be looking for a path leading to a summit from where we can view Tolkien’s whole realm. Yannick Imbert argues that we can gain such a view only if we understand Tolkien’s philosophical theology, his Thomism. To attain this vantage point and better understand the genius of his Middle Earth, readers journey with Tolkien through his academic, personal, and theological milieu, which together formed his Thomistic imagination.

Towards a Romantic Conception of Nature by Hendrik Roelof Rookmaaker Pdf

This study describes in detail the development of Coleridge's attitude to nature as it is reflected in his poetry. It analyses the different stages of Coleridge's search for a meaningful relation to nature from an uncritical adoption of the eighteenth century conventions in his early poetry to a projectionist view in his poems of 1802. It offers challenging new readings of some of Coleridge's major poems like 'The Ancient Mariner' and 'Dejection: an Ode', and tries to rehabilitate some minor ones, like 'The Picture'. Attention is also paid to his relation with Wordsworth. It discusses in detail the philosophical background of Coleridge's views and considers the contribution of German thought to his development. As a whole this study affords a new insight into the genesis of romanticism in England.

Poetry Realized in Nature by Trevor H. Levere Pdf

Poetry Realized in Nature shows Coleridge's method at work and, more generally, explores German philosophical science, Naturphilosophie, and the relations between science and romantic thought. It combines a biographical approach with intellectual history, reconstructing Coleridge's imaginative enterprise across the whole range of the physical and life sciences. Coleridge strove for coherence in all realms of thought, and so the ways in which he explored scientific ideas illuminate all aspects of his inquiring spirit. He sought self-knowledge, which required a knowledge of man and mind in relation to nature and God. There was, accordingly, an intimate relationship between his theology and philosophy, and his ideas about the natural world. Science functioned as a touchstone in his philosophy, thus indirectly reinforcing his theology. The ideas he derived from science also bore directly on his critical doctrines, including the theory of imagination.
