  • Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who is, along with his friend William Wordsworth, widely considered to be among the founders of the English Romantic movement. While many group Coleridge and Wordsworth together, believing that they shared a mutual poetic vision, Coleridge was in fact a far more radical and revolutionary poet than Wordsworth. Today, Coleridge is highly respected for not only his lasting poetic contributions, but also for his work as a literary critic and philosopher. During his youth, Coleridge was a lonely, bookish child who took a great interest in poetry and scholastic study at a very young age. Coleridge, as many of his biographers have argued, probably suffered from depression in his childhood, an illness that continued throughout the remainder of his life and had a tremendous influence— both for better and for worse—upon his poetry. His poetic career took off in 1798, when he and his friend William Wordsworth published one of the most important works of the Romantic age, Lyrical Ballads. Lyrical Ballads is a remarkable and highly original collection of some of both poets’ early poems, including what is often considered Coleridge’s greatest poem, Rime of the Ancient Mariner. While the publication of Lyrical Ballads firmly established Coleridge’s reputation as one of the finest poets of his generation, he soon also established himself as a gifted lecturer on literary subjects and as one of England’s premiere critical philosophers. However, while Coleridge’s intellectual and artistic careers flourished, his dependency on opium for relief from chronic pain developed into a full-blown addiction that began to consume his life.

J. Lamport, German Classical Drama: Theatre, Humanity, and Nation, 1750–1870 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990); and T. J. Reed, The Classical Centre: Goethe and Weimar, 1775–1832 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986), and Schiller- Handbuch, ed. Helmut Koopmann (Stuttgart: Alfred Kröner, 1998). 2. Schiller later revised the essay and published it in his Shorter Works in Prose under the title ‘The Stage Considered as a Moral Institution’ (‘Die Schaubühne als eine moralische Anstalt betrachtet’). 3.

    English 363K E. M. Richmond-Garza MW 11:30-1 Par 204 Classic to Romantic “Day Into Night” Spring 2017 I’m going to the darklands to talk in rhyme with my chaotic soul as sure as life means nothing and all things end in nothing and heaven I think is too close to hell The Jesus and Mary Chain, “darklands” § Intent of the Course How does European art and literature move from the fiery bright day of the eighteenth-century philosophes and neo-classical poets to the dark intensity of the height of Romanticism? How are the promise of rationalism, the hopes of the French Revolution and the elegant coolness of the idealized “Golden Age” of Hellenistic Greece transformed into the great passionate and ironic experiment of Romanticism? How can we account for and appreciate the extraordinary international artistic explosion around the year 1800 throughout Europe as artists and writers sought to go beyond what they saw as their betrayal by the previous generation’s exquisite plans? Treating a fin-de-siècle twilight and a new centiry’s dawn not unlike our own, this course will situate the art and literature of the English Romantics within the social, political, and aesthetic contexts of both Classicism and international Romanticism. We will look at the fine arts, especially painting and music, as well as the literary texts of the period. Dissatisfied with the neo-classical aesthetics and politics of Pope, Johnson, and Reynolds, even in the eighteenth century Blake in England and Diderot in France were already testing the Romantic waters.

Perasaan cinta tersebut digambarkan pada puisi yang berjudul —Desire“ karya Samuel Taylor Coleridge dan —/ove‘s 3hilosophy“ karya Percy Byshee Shelley. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan unsur instrinsik dari puisi —Desire“ karya Samuel Taylor Coleridge dan —/ove‘s Philosophy“ karya Percy Byshee Shelley, menganalisis perasaan cinta melalui pembelajaran id, ego dan superego, dan menganalisis kategori cinta yang ditunjukkan pada kedua puisi tersebut. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan yang berarti penulis melakukan pengumpulan sumber data melalui buku-buku yang terkait di perpustakaan dan berbagai sumber lainnya melalui internet. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan pendekatan psikoanalisis (id, ego, superego) milik Sigmund Freud dan teori cinta milik Elaine Hatfield. Adapun aspek instrinsik yang dianalisis adalah diksi, citraan, simbol, personifikasi, dan metafora. Aspek instrinsik tersebut digunakan untuk mendukung analisis secara keseluruhan. Teori psikoanalisis dan teori cinta digunakan untuk menganalisis aspek ekstrinsik karena memiliki keutamaan dalam menganalisis perasaan cinta yang ada pada puisi tersebut. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan, penulis menemukan bahwa puisi —Desire“ karya Samuel Taylor Coleridge menggambarkan perasaan cinta yang ada pada diri manusia. Perasaan tersebut muncul karena adanya nilai nilai moral yang berlandaskan kebaikan dalam kehidupan manusia.
