Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coleridge'S Transcendentalism Has Been A Stumbling Block In The Way Of His Admirers As Well As Students Of His Poetry And Criticism. Readers Are In Love With His Subtle-Souled Psychology In Poetry And Delicate Imagery. They Also Admire His Brilliant And Perceptive Criticism Seen In His Remarks On The Genius Of Shakespeare Or The Poetic Diction Of Wordsworth. But The Philosophical And Psychological Assumptions That Underlie His Criticism, Especially With Regard To The Origin And Composition Of Poetry, Baffle And Intrigue His Readers. Several Efforts Have Been Made To Elucidate Them But Without Much Success. Professor Gokak, A Well Known Poet And Perceptive Critic And A Celebrated Professor Of English Language And Literature, Has, In These Pages, Brought To Bear On Coleridge S Aesthetics, Not Only His Poetic Sensibility And Critical Acumen And Scholarship, But Also His Indian Cultural Background And His Study Of Indian Aesthetics. The Result Is That He Is Able To Present A Fascinating Exposition Of Coleridge S Aesthetic Principles: What Seemed To Be Utter Confusion Mixed Up With Opium Dreams, Is Now Seen To Be A Profound Psychological Account Of The Genesis And Evolution Of Poetry. Professor Gokak Has Succeeded In Lighting Up Most Of The Obscure Corners In Coleridge S Theory.

Book Aesthetics  Poetics and Phenomenology in Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Download or read book Aesthetics Poetics and Phenomenology in Samuel Taylor Coleridge written by Tom Marshall and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-evaluates the philosophical status of Samuel Taylor Coleridge by providing an extended comparison between his work and the phenomenological theory of Edmund Husserl. Examining Coleridge’s accounts of the imagination, perception, poetic creativity and literary criticism, it draws a systematic and coherent structure out of a range of Coleridge’s philosophical writing. In addition, it also applies the principles of Coleridge’s philosophy to an interpretation of his own poetic output.

Book Coleridge  Schiller and Aesthetic Education

Download or read book Coleridge Schiller and Aesthetic Education written by M. Kooy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-02-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to consider at length Coleridge's relationship to his near contemporary, Friedrich Schiller. Contrary to received opinion, the author shows that Schiller's notion of 'aesthetic education' was indeed valuable to Coleridge at an early stage in his career and that it helped to shape much of his work - from his theory of imagination and his notion of the clerisy to his views on women and his account of historical change. Combining close readings with historical research, this book challenges readers to rethink the radical potential of idealist aesthetics.

Book Romanticism  Aesthetics  and Nationalism

Download or read book Romanticism Aesthetics and Nationalism written by David Aram Kaiser and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-13 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious study, first published in 1999, argues that our conception of the aesthetic sphere emerged during the era of British and German Romanticism from conflicts between competing models of the liberal state and the cultural nation. The aesthetic sphere is thus centrally connected to 'aesthetic statism', which is the theoretical project of reconciling conflicts in the political sphere by appealing to the unity of the symbol. David Kaiser traces the trajectory of aesthetic statism from Schiller and Coleridge, through Arnold, Mill and Ruskin, to Adorno and Habermas. He analyses how the concept of aesthetic autonomy shifts from being a supplement to the political sphere to an end in itself; this shift lies behind the problems that contemporary literary theory has faced in its attempts to connect the aesthetic and political spheres. Finally, he suggests that we rethink the aesthetic sphere in order to regain that connection.

Book Coleridge   s Sublime Later Prose and Recent Theory

Download or read book Coleridge s Sublime Later Prose and Recent Theory written by Murray J. Evans and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the sublime in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s later major prose in relation to more recent theories of the sublime. Building on the author’s previous monograph Sublime Coleridge: The Opus Maximum, this study focuses on sublime theory and discourse in Coleridge’s other major prose texts of the 1820s: Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit (wr. 1824), Aids to Reflection (1825), and On the Constitution of the Church and State (1829). This book thus ponders the constellations of aesthetics, literature, religion, and politics in the sublime theory and practice of this central Romantic author and three of his important successors: Julia Kristeva, Theodor Adorno, and Jacques Rancière.

Book Coleridge s Meditative Art

    Book Details:
  • Author : Reeve Parker
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2019-06-30
  • ISBN : 1501742884
  • Pages : 280 pages

Download or read book Coleridge s Meditative Art written by Reeve Parker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the meditative poems seeks to define and illustrate the intricate and resourceful play characteristic of Coleridge's mind. Mr. Parker includes significant new material relating Coleridge's art to his personal literary experience, especially with Wordsworth, though Parker's emphasis throughout is on literary interpretation rather than on psychology. He gives full and rigorous readings of five poems: "Frost at Midnight,'' "This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison," "Hymn Before Sun-rise in the Vale of Chamouny," "Dejection: An Ode," and "To William Wordsworth." These poems, he believes, reveal that Coleridge was a far more subtle literary craftsman than has been previously recognized.

Book Coleridge and Contemplation

Download or read book Coleridge and Contemplation written by Peter Cheyne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coleridge and Contemplation is a multi-disciplinary volume on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, founding poet of British Romanticism, critic, and author of philosophical, political, and theological works. In his philosophical writings, Coleridge developed his thinking about the symbolizing imagination, a precursor to contemplation, into a theory of contemplation itself, which for him occurs in its purest form as a manifestation of 'Reason'. Coleridge is a particularly challenging figure because he was a thinker in process, and something of an omnimath, a Renaissance man of the Romantic era. The dynamic quality of his thinking, the 'dark fluxion' pursued but ultimately 'unfixable by thought', and his extensive range of interests make a philosophical yet also multi-disciplinary approach to Coleridge essential. This book is the first collection to feature philosophers and intellectual historians writing on Coleridge's philosophy. This volume opens up a neglected aspect of the work of Britain's greatest philosopher-poet — his analysis of contemplation, which he considered the highest of human mental powers. Philosophers including Roger Scruton, David E. Cooper, Michael McGhee, Andy Hamilton, and Peter Cheyne contribute original essays on the philosophical, literary, and political implications of Coleridge's views. The volume is edited and introduced by Peter Cheyne, and Baroness Mary Warnock contributes a foreword. The chapters by philosophers are supported by new developments in philosophically minded criticism from leading Coleridge scholars in English departments, including Jim Mays, Kathleen Wheeler, and James Engell. They approach Coleridge as an energetic yet contemplative thinker concerned with the intuition of ideas and the processes of cultivation in self and society. Other chapters, from intellectual historians and theologians, including Douglas Hedley clarify the historical background, and 'religious musings', of Coleridge's thought regarding contemplation.

Book The Wordsworth Coleridge Circle and the Aesthetics of Disability

Download or read book The Wordsworth Coleridge Circle and the Aesthetics of Disability written by Emily B. Stanback and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the importance of disability to authors of the Wordsworth-Coleridge circle. By examining texts in a variety of genres — ranging from self-experimental medical texts to lyric poetry to metaphysical essays — Stanback demonstrates the extent to which non-normative embodiment was central to Romantic-era thought and Romantic-era aesthetics. The book reassesses well-known literary and medical works by such authors as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Humphry Davy, argues for the importance of lesser-studied work by authors including Charles Lamb and Thomas Beddoes, and introduces significant unpublished work by Tom Wedgwood.

Book Historical Dictionary of Aesthetics

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Aesthetics written by Dabney Townsend and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-09-05 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aesthetics is not a 'factual' discipline; there are no aesthetic facts. The word itself is derived from the Greek word for 'feeling' and the discipline arises because of the need to find a place for the passions within epistemology_the branch of philosophy that investigates our beliefs. Aesthetics is more than just the study of beauty; it is a study of that which appeals to our senses, most often in connection with the classification, analysis, appreciation, and understanding of art. The Historical Dictionary of Aesthetics covers its history from Classical Greece to the present, including entries on non-western aesthetics. The book contains a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the main concepts, terminology, important persons (philosophers, critics, and artists), and the rules and criteria we apply in making judgments on art. By providing concise information on aesthetics, this dictionary is not only accessible to students, but it provides details and facts to specialists in the field.
