Book Synopsis Madness and the Romantic Poet by : James Whitehead
Download or read book Madness and the Romantic Poet written by James Whitehead and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madness and the Romantic Poet examines the longstanding and enduringly popular idea that poetry is connected to madness and mental illness. The idea goes back to classical antiquity, but it was given new life at the turn of the nineteenth century. The book offers a new and much more complete history of its development than has previously been attempted, alongside important associated ideas about individual genius, creativity, the emotions, rationality, and the mind in extreme states or disorder - ideas that have been pervasive in modern popular culture. More specifically, the book tells the story of the initial growth and wider dissemination of the idea of the 'Romantic mad poet' in the nineteenth century, how (and why) this idea became so popular, and how it interacted with the very different fortunes in reception and reputation of Romantic poets, their poetry, and attacks on or defences of Romanticism as a cultural trend generally - again leaving a popular legacy that endured into the twentieth century. Material covered includes nineteenth-century journalism, early literary criticism, biography, medical and psychiatric literature, and poetry. A wide range of scientific (and pseudoscientific) thinkers are discussed alongside major Romantic authors, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Hazlitt, Lamb, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Keats, Byron, and John Clare. Using this array of sources and figures, the book asks: was the Romantic mad genius just a sentimental stereotype or a romantic myth? Or does its long popularity tell us something serious about Romanticism and the role it has played, or has been given, in modern culture?
Book Synopsis British Studies on Wordsworth by : Ed. Mohit K. Ray
Download or read book British Studies on Wordsworth written by Ed. Mohit K. Ray and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reputation Of Wordsworth, Once Regarded As The Most Important Exponent Of English Romanticism, Has, Strangely, Been Quite Controversial, And The Critical Reception Of His Poetry Had Many Ups And Downs. If Arnold Considers Him One Of The Chief Glories Of English Poetry Byron Considers Him As A Hireling Poet And A Prince Of Dullness, And It Is A Fact That Never In His Lifetime Wordsworth Came Near To Such Popularity As That Of Scott Or Byron. Yet, Southey Whom Wordsworth Succeeded As Poet Laureate Held That A Greater Poet Than Wordsworth There Never Has Been Or Will Be. Tennyson Was Grateful To Wordsworth For What He Had Learned From Him And Kept His Admiration For Him On Record In His Verse.It Will Be Salutary To Revisit Wordsworth, With The Benefit Of Hindsight, Through The Essays Included In This Volume Most Of Which Were Written More Than Hundred Years Ago, And Draw Our Independent Conclusions. The Students And Teachers Of English Literature Will Certainly Find These Historically Valuable Essays, Some Of Which Are Not Easily Accessible These Days, Very Useful And Exciting, And A Scholar On Wordsworth Can Least Afford To Ignore Them.Contents: Wordsworth S Life: An Outline, Coleridge On Wordsworth, Hazlitt On Wordsworth, De Quincey On Wordsworth, Arnold On Wordsworth, Morley On Wordsworth, Herford On Wordsworth, Elton On Wordsworth.

Book Synopsis Romantic Generations by : Lene Østermark-Johansen
Download or read book Romantic Generations written by Lene Østermark-Johansen and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the first two volumes of "ANGLES" on the English-Speaking World, this special issue does not originate in a set of conference papers. The idea of compiling a collection of essays on Romanticism emerged from the unusually strong concentration on Romantic studies among the graduate students of the English Department a couple of years ago. This volume places their work in the context of distinguished international scholars of greater seniority, scholars who have become academic contacts through conferences and assessment committees, and whose contributions I am very pleased to be able to include alongside the works of local contributors. The Romantic generations of the title of this volume thus strike a number of different chords: generations of scholars in Romantic studies; conventional divisions of Romantic poets into first, second and possibly third generations; the self-generative aspect of Romanticism; the awareness of poetic reputation and the image and afterlife of the poet. The collection spans just over a hundred years, from the 1780s to the 1890s, and while not in any way attempting to define Romanticism or raise issues of periodization the volume allows for the continued existence of Romantic features right until the end of the nineteenth century. Poetry looms large in this issue of ANGLES; apart from Ian Duncan's essay on Hume, Scott, and the "Rise of Fiction",' all the other essays are in some way concerned with the Romantic poet and his poetry. The Romantic poet is thus represented as a collector and editor of ballads, as a political radical and printmaker, as other to himself, essentially ignorant of the process of poetic composition, as a rival and collaborator with other poets, or as a poet long dead, the subject of successive generations of poetic lament. The boundaries between poetry and the visual arts is explored in a couple of the essays; indeed, the rivalry between portraiture and literature pervades no less than three of the contributions, and no matter whether the subject of inquiry is the image of the poet or the image of the poet's mother, the Romantic poet displays a high degree of self-consciousness with respect to both literary and visual media. Romantic generations generate both selves and others in poetry and portraiture.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Fulfils The Difficult Task Of Quickening, And Elucidating, Fortifying And Enlarging The Poetry Of Two Important Poets Of Our Time: Robert Frost And William Carlos Williams. It Puts Their Creative Act Under Scrutiny By The Common Parameter Of A Critical Canon, Aiming To Place Them As Poets At A Vantage Point Where The Idea Of Man Speaking Out On Behalf Of Man Can Find Its True And Free Expression.Written In A Lucid Style, And With A Content That Remain A Landmark In American Studies By An Indian Academic, The Book Does Also Privilege A Deeper Understanding Of American Poetry In General While Problematizing Its Inherent Opposition Between The Egocentric As Against The Theocentric, Man Without History As Against History Without Man, The Antinomian As Against The Orthodox, Personality As Against Culture And The Adamic As Against The Mythic.

Book Synopsis ShakespeareA Critical Study Of His Mind And Art by : Edward Dowden
Download or read book ShakespeareA Critical Study Of His Mind And Art written by Edward Dowden and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2003 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Perceptive Study Of Shakespeare By Dowden Remains Unsurpassed. It Is Not An Isolated Work But An Important Landmark In Scholarly Criticism On Shakespeare. Dowden Makes A Judicious Use Of Shakespeare S Intellectual Biography And Connects The Study Of Shakespeare S Works With An Inquiry About The Personality Of The Writer And Growth Of His Mind And Character. The Critic Is Careful In Keeping The Identities Of Shakespeare And His Characters Distinct Though He Skillfully Traces The Proclivities Of Shakespeare S Characters In The Spiritual Tendencies Or Rabits Of Their Creator. In View Of The Range Of Shakespeare S Characters, From John Falstaff To Hamlet, From Lady Macbeth To Cordelia, It Is An Achievement Far Beyond The Scope Of An Extraordinary Intellectual Exercise.By And Large, Dowden Adheres To The Chronological Method Of Studying Shakespeare S Writings. This Makes The Task Of The Student And Reader Easier. References Can Be Made To The Individual Plays And To Their Group Affiliations As Tragedies, Comedies And Historics Readily.Dowden Is Free From Modern Day Tendency To Overuse Academic Jargon. There Is No Rigid Theoretical Framework To Which Shakespeare Has Been Made To Bend And Bow. On The Other Hand, We Notice An Interesting Pattern Of What The Author Himself Describes As The Struggle Between Blood And Judgement Through His Study Of Shakespeare S Plays Which Was Also A Great Affair Of Shakespeare S Life. Dowden Shows Us Decisively That Shakespeare S Creative Response To Life Rested Upon A Purely Human Basis And He Refused To Render Into Art The Dogmas Of Either Catholicism Or Protestantism Even Though He Lived In An Age Marked With Religious Controversies And His Personal Sympathies Were With Protestantism.The Chapter Growth Of Shakespeare S Mind And Art Is An Unmatched Contribution To The Critical Understanding Of Shakespeare S Personality As The Greatest Dramatist And Playwright Of The World.Dowden S Critical Commentary On Shakespeare Is Comprehensive And Wide-Ranging And Full Of Insights. No Important Aspect Of His Dramatic Art Has Remained Untouched As Is Evident From His Treatment Of Shakespeare S Humour. He Insightfully Observes That The Character And Spiritual History Of A Man Who Is Endowed With A Capacity For Humorous Appreciation Of The World Must Differ Throughout And In Every Particular From That Of The Man Whose Moral Nature Has Never Rippled Over With Gerid Laughter. And In This Distinctive Endowment Dowden Seeks The Source Of Shakespeare S Unique Genius.Abandoning Metaphysics And Abstractions, Dowden Turns To Actual Life Of The World As Viewed And Depicted By Shakespeare, To The Real Men And Women Of His Plays And Explores The Sources Of Their Emotion, Thought And Action.Shakespeare-His Mind And Art Has Carved For Itself A Permanent Niche In The Shakespearean Critical Canon.
