Wordsworth & Coleridge
Hello readers...
This task given by Dr. Dilip barad sir.. Hed of the dipartment of English maharaja krishna kumarsiahji bhavnagar university.
The above question is in reference to a comparative critical study between Wordsworth's "preface to Lyrical Ballads" and Coleridge's "biographia literature".
# write brief note on the views of Wordsworth and Coleridge on poem.
William wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge differ in opinion on the correct understanding of poems and poetry as expressed in their respective writings preface to Lyrical Ballads and biographia literera. For making this point clear we have to understand both the writers and their works in deep that what they said and what is their point of view. Where they makes diffence in their thinking and how they define poetry or diffentiate poetry.
Wordsworth's writings are highly sequential, logical and remain in a single thought form all throughout his creative end he is unable to maintain a single thought probably due to his opinion which he is notorious for.
Wordsworth admonishes simplicity of diction and style which is also evident of his famous preface but coleridge is known for his convoluted, esoteric and philosophical language in his biographia literaria.
Braking with the earlien eighteenth century, which maintained that poetry should be rational and objective, Wordsworth's "preface to the Lyrical Ballads" focused on the subjectivity of the individual. He writes, 'Humble and rustic life was generally chosen, passions of the heart... Speak a planner and more emphatic language, notice that in the preface to "lirical Ballads" there is not much about imagination.
Semuel Taylor Coleridge brought back the issue of imagination and fancy in his discussion of poetry in "biographia literaria" while to wordsworth, imagination was something taken for granted, especially in poets, Coleridge, while agreeing with wordsworth 's premise, nevertheless, clarifies for himself what imagination was what was the difference between century critics tended to merge to gather.
Imagery "affecting incidents:just thought ; interesting personal or dimestic feelings, and with these the art of their combination or inter texture in the form of a poem and prose".
Here, we see coleridge sometimes seems inconsistent in the development of essential terms and cncepts;but his repeated avowal of "the necessity of bottoming on fixed principles" lends rigor and relevance to all of his prose writings far beyond their immediate context.
#The Rime of the Ancient mariner.
The Rime of the Ancient mariner is the longest major poem by the English poet samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797-98 and published in 7798 in the first editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss.
The Rime of the Ancient mariner relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on his way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story. The wedding guests reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner's story.
With my cross - bow
I shot the albatross.
The crew is angry with the mariner, believing the albatross brought the south wind that led them out of the Antarctic. However, the sailors change their minds when weather becomes warmer and the mist disappears ;
"Twas right, said they, such
Birds to slay,
That bring the fog and mist.
They soon find that they made a grave mistake in supporting this crime;as it arouses the earth of spirits who then snow,the land of ice now sends the ship into uncharted waters near the equator, where it is becalmed.
As they discussed she vocke's book, Wordsworth proffers the following developmently contains a reference to tutelary contains a reference to him as having killed one of there brids on entering the south sea, and the tutelarly spirits of these regions tack upon them to avenge the crime by the time the trio finished their walk, the poem had taken shape.
#The prelude
The prelude or, growth of a poets mind;an autobiographical poem in blank verse by the English poet william wordsworth.
The poem was intended as the prologue to a long three - part epic and philosophical poem, The Recluse though wordsworth planned this project when he was in his late 20,s he went to his grave at 80 year old having written to some completion only The Prelude and the second part, and leaving no more than fragments of the rest.
Coleridge's inspiration and interest is evident in his letters, for instance, in 1799 he wrote to wordsworth :"I am anxiously eager to have you steadily employed on 'The Recluse".... I wish you would write a poem, in blank verse, addressed to those who, in consequences of the complete failure of the French revolution, હવે, thrown up all hopes of amelioration of mankind, and are sinking into an almost Epicurean selfishness.
Thank you....
