Critical Analysis of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge Ess

Critical Analysis of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge spearheaded a philosophical indite movement in England in the late 18th and early nineteenth century. Although Wordsworth and S.T. Coleridge are often considered the fathers of the English Romantic movement, their collective theologies and philosophies were often criticized further rarely bring inn serious by the pair of writers due to their noted prestige as poets. The combined effort in the lyric B eachads catapulted their name into the mainstream of writers in 1798 and with this work they solidified their place in English literature. Although, close people fail to note that the majority of Coleridges and Wordsworths work was him simply flexure and breaking particular rules of poetry that were in place during his period and in order to fully clear his work, one must fully understand his views of poetry itself.Wordsworth was often arrogant in response to negati ve criticism, in this case, there was his response to Sara Hutchinsons comments on his work, the Leechgatherer I am exceedingly obscure that the latter part of the Leechgatherer has dis delight you, the more so because I cannot take to myself (that being the case) much pleasure or satisfaction in having pleased you in the former part (Hanley). This particular scolding by Wordsworth understandably shows how important it was to him that the criticism only came from someone whom he greatly respected. Her earn to Wordsworth has since been lost but in my estimation, Hutchinson?s comments could not have been all that degrading, just merely perpendicular to what Wordsworth thought of his own work.There were dickens particular events that helped to give William a newfound sense of direction in his work and career. In January of 1795, a close friend of William died and in his will, he granted Wordsworth a legacy of 900 pounds this money helped him to devote more time to his poetry. That s ame August, he met S.T. Coleridge and they quickly became close friends. In July of 1797, Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy go to Alfoxden House, which was only a few miles from Coleridges home in Nether Stowey. harangue of Coleridge, himself and Dorothy, Wordsworth said, we were three persons with one soul (Hanley).

They took a new direction to poetry, which in short, brought it to the mainstream. In this regard, they opened the brink to poetry for many people who had never been exposed to it. The Romantic ? variation? sparked numerous writings and forever changed the way poetry was written. In essence, what Wordsworth and Coleridge did was get along poetry more about himself or herself rather than the epic musical mode of Dante or Homer. They wrote about what they knew best, their own personal e xperiences.Works CitedBennett, Andrew. ?Wordsworth Writing. (Critical Essay).? Wordsworth Circle, Winter 2003 v34 i1 p3 (6).
