Using the Work of Either Wordsworth or Coleridge, Show How Romanticism Constituted a Radical Break with the Techniques and Subject Matter of What Had Gone Before.
Using the work of EITHER Wordsworth or Coleridge, show how Romanticism constituted a radical break with the techniques and subject matter of what had gone before.
Wordsworth was the beginning of a new genre of writing. In the late18th century a lot of society and writing focussed around order and reason, however Wordsworth romantic and naturalistic writing created a tremendous break through. With the joint efforts and collaboration with Samuel Coleridge he published ‘Lyrical Ballads’ which helped start the English Romantic movement. Wordsworth close attention to analysis on environment, geography and physicality in his poetry emphasised his controversial approach. He emphasizes the phenomenological interaction between inner and outer worlds, but with his romantic landscape poems containing political aspects that are intrinsic with the prospect poem and referring to nature which corresponds with the poet's inner self is loaded with political and cultural values. Showing Wordsworth ability to highlight and criticize society, political and social injustices at the time through in depth description of nature.
Romanticism is a complex, self-contradictory artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe, and gained strength during the Industrial Revolution.[1] It was partly a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature and a movement in revolt against the Neoclassicism of the previous centuries, and was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music and literature. Romanticism placed a new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror, and the awe experienced in confronting the sublimity in untamed nature and its qualities that are scenic and spectacular. Wordsworth produced poetry that highlighted the picturesque and beauty in nature.
Wordsworth work shows a strong contradiction to what techniques were used before
