Analyse
with textual references the aspects of Romanticism that you find in the poetry
of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Answer:
If not the greatest, Coleridge is at least the most
representative of all English romantic poets. He represents in his work almost
all the triumphs and perils of the romantic spirit. He is the "most
complete representative" of the English romantic poetry of the early
nineteenth century as he captures, unlike any other romantic poet, almost all
the salient traits of romanticism. A teeming imagination, love of the Middle
Ages, supernaturalism, humanitarianism, love of nature, metrical artistry, and
a peculiar agony and melancholy-all these romantic features find ample
expression in his work.
His really good poetry does not extent beyond twenty pages, but in them breathes the romantic spirit in all its fullness. He wrote very little, but whatever he wrote well should be engraved in letters of gold and bound in titles of silver. The least prolific of the English romantic poets, he was the most representative of all. According to Bowra, Coleridge's poems "of all English Romantic masterpieces are the most unusual and the most Romantic." Says Vaughan: "Of all that is the purest and most ethereal in the romantic spirit, his poetry is the most finished, the supreme embodiment." No doubt, there are a few (but very few) elements in the romantic spirit which appear in his work rather faintly yet considered as a whole his works are the most exquisite products and representatives of the spirit of the age.................................................................................
