Book excerpt: Though left uncompleted, “Kubla Khan” is one of the most famous examples of Romantic era poetry. In it, Samuel Coleridge provides a stunning and detailed example of the power of the poet’s imagination through his whimsical description of Xanadu, the capital city of Kublai Khan’s empire. Samuel Coleridge penned “Kubla Khan” after waking up from an opium-induced dream in which he experienced and imagined the realities of the great Mongol ruler’s capital city. Coleridge began writing what he remembered of his dream immediately upon waking from it, and intended to write two to three hundred lines. However, Coleridge was interrupted soon after and, his memory of the dream dimming, was ultimately unable to complete the poem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Englische Philologie), course: William Blake and the English Romantisicm, language: English, abstract: In his enigmatic poem ‘Kubla Khan‘ Coleridge initially reveals the source and framework of his literary work in the title itself: ‘Kubla Khan: Or, A Vision in A Dream. A Fragment‘. Furthermore, the reader is provided with a detailed commentary on the genesis of the idea behind the poem and the moment of creation. In this paper, I aim to examine the importance of the dream vision with regard to the role of the poet with a Romantic state of mind. The fragility of a dream and the dreamer’s limited ability to act freely in it evoke the role of the artist, creating something fragile and reliant on outside authority figures with full agency to move forward. That is, the dream vision can be seen as a mirror image of the creative process, intensifying and enhancing how we understand the challenges of the artist.

Download or read book Kubla Khan Poetic Structure Hypnotic Quality and Cognitive Style written by Reuven Tsur and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book endorses Coleridge's statement: "nothing can permanently please which does not contain in itself the reason why it is so". It conceives of "Kubla Khan" as of a hypnotic poem, in which the "obtrusive rhythms" produce a hypnotic, emotionally heightened response, giving false security to the "Platonic Censor", so that our imagination is left free to explore higher levels of uncertainty. Critics intolerant of uncertainty tend to account for the poem's effect by extraneous background information. The book consists of three parts employing different research methods. Part One is speculative, and discusses three aspects of a complex aesthetic event: the verbal structure of "Kubla Khan", validity in interpretation, and the influence of the critic's decision style on his critical decisions. The other two parts are empirical. Part Two explores reader response to gestalt qualities of rhyme patterns and hypnotic poems in perspective of decision style and professional training. Part Three submits four recordings of the poem by leading British actors to instrumental investigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christabel is a long narrative poem in two parts. Coleridge planned three additional parts, but these were never completed. The story of Christabel concerns a central female character of the same name and her encounter with a stranger called Geraldine, who claims to have been abducted from her home by a band of rough men. Coleridge aimed to write Christabel using an accentual metrical system, based on the count of only accents: even though the number of syllables in each line can vary from four to twelve, the number of accents per line never deviates from four. Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. According to Coleridge's Preface the poem was composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. Upon waking, he set about writing lines of poetry that came to him from the dream until he was interrupted by a person from Porlock. The poem could not be completed according to its original 200–300 line plan as the interruption caused him to forget the lines. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 – 1834) was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan: A Vision in a Dream & Christabel' is a groundbreaking work of poetry that showcases the Romantic literary style of the early 19th century. The book explores themes of imagination, nature, and the supernatural, presented in a dreamlike and lyrical manner. 'Kubla Khan' is famously known for its unfinished structure, said to have been inspired by a opium-induced dream, while 'Christabel' is a gothic tale of mystery and suspense. Coleridge's use of vivid imagery and symbolism adds to the richness of these poems, making them a captivating read for those interested in Romantic literature. The language used is both lush and evocative, drawing readers into a world of wonder and enchantment. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a key figure in the Romantic movement, wrote 'Kubla Khan' and 'Christabel' at a time when political and social upheaval influenced the creative output of many writers. His own struggles with addiction and personal turmoil likely contributed to the introspective and imaginative nature of these poems. I highly recommend 'Kubla Khan: A Vision in a Dream & Christabel' to anyone seeking to delve into the depths of Romantic poetry and explore the mind of a brilliant literary visionary.
