ROMANTIC POETRY
TWO GENERATIONS OF POETS
-
, FOUND EXPRESSION IN THE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES OF THE THREE POETS:
: 1.THE ANTI-CONFORMIST (REBELLIOUS OF THE ‘BYRONIC HERO’),
- THE REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT (STUBBORN HOPE OF SHELLEY’S PROMETHEUS)
), 3. KEATS’S ESCAPE INTO THE WORLD OF CLASSICAL BEAUTY.
THE POETS OF THE SECOND GENERATION ALL DIED YOUNG AND AWAY FROM HOME, IN MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES.
THE ROMANTIC IMAGINATION
BETWEEN THE 18TH AND THE 19TH CENTURY,
-
-
THEY EXALTED THE ATYPICAL, THE OUTCAST, THE REBEL.
THE CURRENT OF THOUGHT REPRESENTED BY JEAN- JACQUES ROUSSEAU WHO REPRESENTED INTOLERABLE RESTRICTIONS ON THE INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY.
THE ‘NOBLE SAVAGE’ CONCEPT IS SPECIFICALLY A ROMANTIC ONE,
THAT APPEAR PRIMITIVE, BUT ACTUALLY HE HAS AN INSTINCTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF HIMSELF AND OF THE WORLD OFTEN SUPERIOR TO THE KNOWLEDGE WHICH HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY CIVILISED MAN.
THE CULT OF THE EXOTIC
ROUSSEAU’S THEORIES ALSO INFLUENCED THE ‘CULT OF THE EXOTIC’: THE VENERATION OF WHAT IS FAR AWAY BOTH IN SPACE AND IN TIME.
THE VIEW OF NATURE
THE ROMANTIC POETS ALSO REGARDED NATURE AS A LIVING FORCE AND AS THE EXPRESSION OF GOD IN THE UNIVERSE.
. NATURE BECAME A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND JOY, AND A MEANS TO CONVEY MORAL TRUTHS.
POETIC TECHNIQUE
POETIC TECHNIQUE: BREAK FREE FROM RULES, THE ROMANTIC POETS SEARCHED FOR A NEW STYLE THROUGH THE CHOICE OF A LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT SUITABLE TO POETRY.
MORE VIVID AND FAMILIAR WORDS BEGAN TO REPLACE THE ARTIFICIAL CIRCUMLOCUTIONS OF 18TH-CENTURY DICTION;
; SYMBOLS AND IMAGES LOST THEIR DECORATIVE FUNCTION TO BECOM VEHICLES OF THE INNER VISIONARY PERCEPTIONS.
