    Peer-Reviewed Article International Journal of Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Higher Education Volume 3, Issue 1 (2018) https://www.ojed.org/jimphe Print ISSN 2474-2546 Online ISSN 2474-2554) doi: 10.5281/zenodo.2525821 Education Movements and William Wordsworth Md. Muntasir Mamun University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, Bangladesh Abstract The seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries experienced major educational movements, including orthodox religious formalism and rationalistic formalism of the Enlightenment. Toward the end of the latter century, however, naturalist and individualist views of education began to counter formalism, inspired by poets and philosophers like William Wordsworth and Jean Jacques Rousseau. This article focuses on Wordsworth's poetry to show how his philosophy of moral and spiritual development of the individual helped to establish faith in Nature as a basis of moral guidance of education. Wordsworth believed that education is a process of natural growth of the student, and the teacher, like a gardener, should be a watchful guide on the side, not a sage on the stage. The child, engaged in real life situations and exposed to good role models, comes to understand the need for sharing, kindness, honesty, diligence, loyalty, courage, and other virtues. The article concludes by showing the value of the above philosophy for our time. In the 21st century, the business world of global capitalism threatens to reduce humanity to mere products or commodities and knowledge has become a mere market entity. Under these circumstances, William naturalistic philosophy of education can strengthen education against the capitalist threat. Keywords: Education, Religious formalism, The Enlightenment, Naturalism, William Wordsworth Up until the Enlightenment, social ideals favoured the view that conformity to social norms and the development of memory are the most important component 68 for the success of education.

  • Romanticism Romanticism Dominated Literature, Music, and the Arts in the First Half of the 19Th Century
    AP ACHIEVER Romanticism Romanticism dominated literature, music, and the arts in the first half of the 19th century. Romantics reacted to the Enlightenment’s emphasis on reason and science, instead stressing the following: • Emotions – Taking their cue from Rousseau, Romantics emphasized feeling and passion as the wellspring of knowledge and creativity. • Intuition – Science alone cannot decipher the world; imagination and the “mind’s eye” can also reveal its truths. • Nature – Whereas the philosophes studied nature analytically, the Romantics drew inspiration and awe from its mysteries and power. • Nationalism – Romanticism found a natural connection with nationalism; both emphasized change, passion, and connection to the past. • Religion (Supernatural) – Romanticism coincided with a religious revival, particularly in Catholicism. Spirit, mysticism, and emotions were central to both. • The unique individual – Romantics celebrated the individual of genius and talent, like a Beethoven or a Napoleon, rather than what was universal in all humans. With these themes in mind, consider the topics and individuals below: • THEME MUSIC AND EXAMPLE BASE Prior to the 19th century, you will have noted the rise of objective thinking toward the natural world (Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment), but with the Romantics, we see one of the first strong reactions to the notion that all knowledge stems from the scientific method (OS). Though not the first to do so, the Romantics embrace the subjectivity of experience in a singular and seductive manner. Literature and History Lord Byron (1788-1824 ) – As famous for his scandalous lifestyle as for his narrative poems, Lord Byron died from fever on his way to fight for Greek independence, a cause he supported in his writings.

A. Speck’s Robert Southey: Entire Man of Letters (2006), a new five‐volume edition of Southey’s Poetical Works, 1793‐1810 (2004), a volume of essays edited by Lynda Pratt entitled Robert Southey and the Contexts of English Romanticism (2006), Carol Bolton’s study Writing the Empire: Robert Southey and Romantic Colonialism (2007) and David M. Craig’s book Robert Southey and Romantic Apostasy: Political Argument in Britain, 1780‐1840 (2007). Furthermore, the first collected edition of Southey’s vast correspondence, co‐directed by Lynda Pratt and Tim Fulford, is under way. After a long period of neglect, a concerted effort is being made to reassess Southey’s work, rehabilitate it, analyse the development of his political and social ideas and recognise his centrality to British literature and culture in the Romantic age.

  • William Wordsworth and John Hardie
    ©© TIM BURKE Lord Lonsdale and His Proteges: William Wordsworth and John Hardie THIS ESSAY IS CONCERNED with two poets working in the service of Sir William Lowther, second Earl of Lonsdale, both actively advancing his considerable inter­ ests in the politics of northwest England in the 1830s. One of the poets is, of course, William Wordsworth, who had been in the "pay" of Lonsdale since 1813. The other seems to have received nothing by way of financial or indeed any other kind of direct support from the earl, but nonetheless belongs sufficiently within the Lowther family's extensive sphere of influence to be described as a protege of sorts.1 His name is John Hardie (bom c. 1782), a cabinetmaker and author of occasional poetry that was collected in a volume published at Whitehaven, thirty miles to the west of Rydal Mount, in 1839.2 Both men wrote poems promoting Lord Lonsdale and endorsing the wider "Lowther interest," with a particular emphasis on the earl as an embodiment of "truth" and the ideal of aristocratic and paternalist masculinity In so doing, Lonsdale's poets were trying to counter his very different representation in the hostile radical and reformist press; his polit­ ical vulnerability after the passage of the reform bills that he had so aggressively opposed was an opportunity for radical opponents to question his honesty and even his noble masculine identity. Lonsdale was a sometimes shrewd, sometimes far from subtle manipulator of the local press in the Lake Counties. His quest for influence dates back at least as far as 1818, and the election of that year, in which Henry Brougham first stood against the Lowther interest, challenging the complacent assumption that the earl's sons would be elected unopposed.

  • Romantic Poetry 1 Romantic Poetry
    Romantic poetry 1 Romantic poetry Romanticism, a philosophical, literary, artistic and cultural era[1] which began in the mid/late-18th century[2] as a reaction against the prevailing Enlightenment ideals of the day (Romantics favored more natural, emotional and personal artistic themes),[3][4] also influenced poetry. Inevitably, the characterization of a broad range of contemporaneous poets and poetry under the single unifying name can be viewed more as an exercise in historical The Funeral of Shelley by Louis Edouard Fournier (1889); the group members, from left compartmentalization than an attempt to right, are Trelawny, Hunt and Byron to capture the essence of the actual ‘movement’.[citation needed] Poets such as William Wordsworth were actively engaged in trying to create a new kind of poetry that emphasized intuition over reason and the pastoral over the urban, often eschewing consciously poetic language in an effort to use more colloquial language. Wordsworth himself in the Preface to his and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads defined good poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings,” though in the same sentence he goes on to clarify this statement by In Western cultural context romanticism substantially contibuted to the idea asserting that nonetheless any poem of of "how a real poet should look like". An idealized statue of a Czech poet value must still be composed by a man Karel Hynek Mácha (in Petřín Park, Prague) repesents him as a slim, tender “possessed of more than usual organic and perhaps unhealthy boy. However, anthropological examination proved sensibility [who has] also thought long that he was a man of a strong, robust and muscular body constitution.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Stuart Curran opened his seminal essay, ‘Romantic Poetry: The I Altered’, in Romanticism and Feminism, ed. Anne K. Mellor (Bloomington and Indiana- polis: Indiana UP, 1988): ‘Let us suppose they all died young: not just Keats at twenty-five, Shelley at twenty-nine, and Byron at thirty-six, but Coleridge in 1802, Wordsworth in 1807, and Southey on the day in 1813 he became poet laureate’ (185). Marilyn Butler likewise entertained the idea of killing Wordsworth prematurely, as early as 1793, in ‘Plotting the Revolution: The Political Narratives of Romantic Poetry and Criticism’, in Romantic Revolu- tions: Criticism and Theory, ed. Kenneth Johnston et al. (Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana UP, 1990), pp. 133–157. In the process of telling the story of how he was cured from depression by reading Wordsworth in 1828, John Stuart Mill parenthesises the later Wordsworth with extraordinary authority: ‘the miscellaneous poems, in the two-volume edition of 1815 (to which little of value was added in the latter part of the author’s life), proved to be the precise thing for my mental wants at that particular juncture’. Auto- biography and Other Writings, ed. Jack Stillinger (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1969), p. 88. In 1879, Matthew Arnold, more famously and influ- entially, originated the notion of Wordsworth’s Great Decade when he said that ‘within one single decade , between 1798 and 1808, almost all his really first rate work was produced’. Poems of Wordsworth (London and New York: Macmillan, 1888, 1st ed. 1879), p. xii. In the early 1980s, the most influential Romanticist of the last two decades, Jerome McGann, in the most casual manner remarked that in 1807 Wordsworth ‘fell asleep’.
