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 literaria. 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 difference in their thinking and how they define poetry or diffenate poetry.
Wordsworth admonishes simplicity of Diction and style which is also evident of his famous preface but coleridge is know for his convoluted esoteric and philosophical language in his biographia literaria.
Braking with earlien eighteen 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 genuinely 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.
- About Semuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor coleridge was an English poet, literary critic, philoshopher and theologian who with his friend william wordsworth was a founder of the Romantic movement in England and a member of the tack poets. He was born on 21 october 1772, and Died on 25 July 1838.He was gave education is Christ's Hospital university of Cambridge. He also shared volumes and collaborated with charles Lamb. Robert southey, and charles Lioyd.
He wrote the poems 'The Rime of the ancient mariner and Kubla khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia literaria. His critical work, especially on william Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce jarman idealist philosophy to English speaking culture.
Coleridge brought back the issue of imagination and fancy in his discussion of poetry in "Biographia literaria" while to wordsworth, imagination was something take 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.
We have see that coleridge somethings seem inconsistent in the development of essential terms and concept, but his repeated avowl of "The necessity of bottoming on fixed principles" lends rigor and relevance to all of his prose writings far beyond their immediate context.
Wordsworth and Coleridge on "tow cardinal points of poetry the power of exciting the sumpathy of the reader by faithful adherence to the truth of mature, and the power of giving the interest of novelty by the modifying colours of imagination. The thought suggested itself. That a series of poems might be composed of two sorts. In the one, the incidents and agents were to be supernatural. For the second class. Subjects were to be chosen from ordinary life. The characters and incidents were to be such as will be found in every village and its vicinity.
Wordsworth and coleridge were fed up with the decorative language of the 18th century poets and were dissatisfied with the kind of poetry. Which was written by the peseude classical poets of the 18th century poets and were dissatisfied with the Kind of poetry, which was written by the pseudo - classical poets of 18th century. Both of them felt that the type of poetry, produced was neither desirable nor pleading to the heart and soul of Man. They were both gifted with imagination, sensibility and creative power. But there were certain marked difference in their temperament.
- Wordsworth and Coleridge as the poet of Romanticism.
Wordsworth and Coleridge both the poets. Were related with Romantic age both the poets were related with Romantic age both the poet were passionate and enthusiasm poems.so it is important to get the knowledge of Romanticism.
Romanticism generally speaking is the expression in terms of Art of sharpend sensibilities and hight end imaginative feelings, Emotion and imagination are the bedrock of romanticism, imagination is the flight of sensibility. Romanticism stands for freedom and liberty, and has there fore been designated as "liberalism in literature". The poetry of this age was marked by intense human sympathy and a consequent understanding of the human heart. Romanticism is the way of looking at life not the way of orderliness, clarity and tranquility but the way of exuberance and emotional enthusiasm.
Conclusion :-
We can say that both the poets have some sort of similarities also and both were differing also with each other. Only thing we can noticed between both the poets that coleridge was lives into the free world which he has created in his own and was addicted with opium and other thing also and so Many people thought that it was the end of Coleridge's writing of poetry and poet felt that he could not write much. But Wordsworth continued to composing poetry have has not left his one way of looking side and result that before his mighty production, Coleridge's poem appear to be very feeble and slender. Still in the little gold Coleridge has left behind, there is much to find than in the whole masses of the poem.
Thank you...
