Full textThe poetical image is considered as the formal criterion enabling the reader to examine the poet-metaphysician's writings as a whole, which is then defined as a prose-poetry intercourse. Based on the "i thou" relationship the workings of the mind, reconstructed from the significant "landing-places" marking out the "idea-image" axis, emerge as the necessary foundation of poetical composition, which makes it similar to philosophical reasoning. The history of the subject-object relationship with the producing of words as images, which together constitute the formal sign of this relationship in the poem, are representations indicating how far the process of knowledge can be investigated. Consequently an interplay of light and darkness, as is epitomized in the late poems, can be observed, and its arrangement constitutes the unique coleridgian chiaroscuro

Full textSara Coleridge is a typical example of those women who have played a discreet, although essential, role in romantic text production. In the first part I attempt to analyze some of articles written following the publication of her correspondence in 1873. Despite the eulogy of which Sara is the object, her portrait is simplified to serve the ideological discourse. The study of more private sources reveals an existence mined by suffering. Yet within the confines of her convalescence bedroom, Sara allows herself an access to creation. These long periods of isolation prepare her for the edition of her father's works: the focus of the second part, in which I examine how Sara rehabilitates the philosophy of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and engages in the polemic between defenders of art and partisans of morality. From her numerous introductions and essays, it is possible to draw some of her aesthetic principles in artistic representation. Finally, in the third part, attention is drawn to her own poetical compositions; some extracted from her fairy tale Phantasmion, and others unpublished, of which I provide an edition in the appendices. Her poems offer a feminine epistemology constructed within an ideological framework explored to its limits. The account of love being the conventional theme of feminine poetry is that of frustrated love with no human reply. Animated by the same desire to transcend reality as that of the romantics, her poetry proposes another path, not through appropriation of the other, but by reciprocity. It represents an attempt to solve the problem of constructing a poetical subjectivity which is in conflict with what society expects of women. It is only when her poetry goes beyond the restrictions imposed on her sex, when it acquires a metaphysical quality, that Sara can negotiate the difficulty posed by the dominant tradition

Full textCohen, Ruth Marianne. "Wordsworth, poète moral : problèmes de création." Toulouse 2, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001TOU2A001.
Full textThis thesis attempts to demonstrate the existence in Wordsworth's work of a great moral project founded on his belief in the educative value of poetry fundamental to the moral progress of man. Volume I presents the creative problems of The Excursion and the complex conflicts with Coleridge and his metaphysical approach to creation. Due to the resulting poetic crisis between the two poets, Wordsworth had to confront an artistic dilemma in his work as a whole. The creative problems he had with The Excursion reveal the emergence of a credo, a moral art developing in the very act of perception. Volune II is devoted to a close examination of several texts written at the various stages of his career which give convincing proof of the poet's moral intention. A linguistic study of the Prospectus to The Excursion shows that the ambiguity of the syntax, the complexity of the enunciative roles and the deliberately nebulous technique point to an underlying moral art. The grammatical and stylistic approach also highlights the curious mixture of epic Miltonian style and one of Wordsworthian pastoral morality. A detailed comparison between the variants of several metatextuality, the moral epiphanies in Wordsworth's early poetry. At the end of his career, the ode "On the Power of Sound", the result of a long creative gestation of the poet's moral voice, provides the material for a close examination of the semantic field of music in the hypotexts and intertexts. These show how the moral art of Wordsworth blends and transforms several poetic traditions to express his own authentic interior poetic voice. Volume III contains transcriptions of manuscript fragments, some of which are still unedited, that illustrate Wordsworth's method of work, particulary with the intention of bringing the unity of his poetic moral project into relief

Full textThe main purpose of the thesis consists in describing the relationship between allegory and tautegory. At the end of the "enlightened age", tautegory means "symbol". A symbol is a sign characterized by its pregnancy, translucence and infinity of purport. The form of a symbol, as one can see in reading moritz and cileridge, is supposed not to be material. Yet, this is impossible, for each form must unfold in and bv some material, however thin it may be. Thus, one has to describe the antinomy of the symbol, in order to understand in what way an event can be said to be "symbolic". The problem is then to show how the concept of symbol or tautegory is necessary to a historical theory, and to point out how it makes it at the same time impossible to conceive what a singulat event really is. An event is always allegorical, it does not cease to be historical. A symbol in itself opens onto the eternity of an intuitive synchrony

Full textMeschonnic emphasized the importance of the "inseparability of history and modes of operating, between language and literature", the necessity of "recognizing the historicity of translating, and of translations" (Poetics of translating, introduction). By analyzing the different French translations of the work of the poet-philosopher Coleridge, published between 1837 and 2006, I will try to put these translations in the context of the different theories of translation and the different aesthetics of reception. Between the theory of translation and the practice of translating, how can the role and position of the translator be defined? Poetry is often considered as "untranslatable". Yet poetry has been translated for centuries. Is it translation or, what Jakobson calls a process of "creative transposition"? I will analyse the different processes used to make up for "what gets lost in translation" (Robert Frost). In a comparative perspective, I will discuss the role played by translation in the reception of Coleridge's poetry and thought in France and examine the intellectual exchanges between France and Great-Britain at the time of the birth of Romanticism

Full textThis thesis explores literary forms of history between 1789 and 1815 - period in which revolutionary and post-revolutionary Europe experiences an endless string of political, social and economical crisis —, in order to examine the ways these forms write about the historical outlooks. The contextuel, generic, and poetic analysis of the works of Foscolo, Chateaubriand and Coleridge reveals ruptures, hybridizations, pluralities and fragmentations, which affect both prose and represented subject. Sign of the particular historicity of this time, the poetical and political destabilizations demonstrate a critical experience of time and history. Moreover, unlike the historiographical model that will be gradually imposed, starting from the second half of the nineteenth century, the works studied do not fit into a stable and clearly identifiable narrative genre: they follow the path of poetic depiction, of prophecy, and of symbolic imagination, in order to repair the wreckage of history, the fractures of the subject and the breaking of textual forms. The writing of the facts deals with the emotions of the subject, builds a poetic recollection of the past and opens the memory to an aftertime. The authors try to translate the present global crisis into a dynamic of future. This general watermark movement, that goes from ruins to repairs, from sudden stop to restart, guides the outlines of this thesis: so conceived as a becoming, time can be renewed. Imagination and prophecy gradually replace former times report and make the prophetic fact happen in present reality. Thanks to the rhythm and the generic distortion, the literary text reveals the endeavour to give meaning and coherence to history, while simultaneously undermining this effort by introducing contingency and conflicts of temporality. Prose steadily assumes poetical qualities to institute poetry as a future-based oriented temporality. This diction of reality belongs to a larger project of re-foundation: first, the temporal one, due to the reconnection of the three temporal categories, then the patriotic one, with each author's strong national and political plans likely to reshape a possible vivre-ensemble, and finally the literary one, for the authors look for the most appropriate literary form more likely to convey ideas of liberty, balance and synthesis

Full textThis thesis studies the images of music such as metaphors in the complete poetical works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats. It endeavours to examine the occurrences of ail music-related words in order to understand the identity-alterity relationship between poetry and music in the romantic era. The two arts, that develop in time, were called the Sister Arts by the Augustans, and their common history was placed under scrutiny by the Romantics, who saw music as a real language that suggests a transcendence that man can only get a glimpse of. At the same time, sentient man developed a new relationship with the surrounding world, and poets dreamt of music as a model for expression and the Knowledge of truth and universal harmony; but it also served as a foil because of its ambiguity, nonreferentiality and ephemerality. Music could also be considered as the heir to the rhetorical tradition, and a Derridian pharmakon that only charms the ear and means nothing. The increasing significance of instrumental music at the turn of the century opened up the door, like silence, to a marvelous world of meditation, remembrance, imagination, ail conducive to poetic creativity. Music's talent for putting ideas into motion was recognised as its distinctive feature as Other. Thus poets acknowledged music as pure, elaborate sound, and turned to lyricism, that frontier between poetry and music where the former attempts to reclaim the old unity in a romantic, nostalgic move towards the golden age of song it lost trace of when it entered the realm of the written text
Slaby, Frédéric. "Les Ecritures et leurs réécritures protestantes et romantiques dans l'oeuvre de Thomas De Quincey." Caen, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009CAEN1558.
Full text2009 marks the sesquicentennial of the death of Thomas De Quincey. The romantic writer’s enduring association with his Confessions of an English Opium Eater—fuelled by his own habit of referring to himself as such—has steered scholarly attention into the exclusive direction of his opium-eating practice, ensuing dreams and their creative and medical consequences. As Frederick Burwick deplores, it would be restrictive to see in this the quintessence of his work while his yet important contribution to religious ideas has never been studied overall. The present Doctoral dissertation proposes to remedy this lack and to open a new critical perspective by looking at the relationship between De Quincey, the Bible and its rewritings. It is also the first piece of work of this kind to draw on the 21 volumes of the complete works as published by Grevel Lindop between 2000 and 2004. It shows that through his relationship to the Bible and its rewritings, Thomas De Quincey “paulinises” romanticism while he romanticises Protestantism, offers a new interpretation of man, builds an original theodicy and renews the definition of literature

Full textDuring all his life, the English poet and romantic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge secretly kept his thoughts and reflections in his Notebooks, which have been published in five volumes. This mosaic writing tells the story of a mind fed on an insatiable appetite and curiosity for the natural world and the human mind. Freed from any structural or generic constraint, the Notebooks certainly offered the poet a scriptural space well-suited for the rhythm of his thought. These texts can thus be read as the reflection of a mind constantly evolving, digressing, exploring new areas and opening new vistas. This work is an attempt to seize the variations of the Coleridgian thought by approaching rhythmically the first three volumes of the Notebooks. The writing of his first notebooks is essentially nomadic and asserts the pleasure of wandering through the natural world and delving into its texture. It feeds upon the energy of a body exploring space and of a mind struggling to inhabit the world poetically. Yet, as time passes, the poet’s gaze seems to linger more on the nocturnal sky than on the natural space. The writing of the Notebooks is then no longer the poetic substrate of the early days; it turns inward, loaded with melancholy. The writing of melancholy could therefore be seen as the darker side of the nomadic writing, one that feeds upon the energy of desire and anxiety, that takes a circumvoluted path towards this “dark spot”. Nevertheless, melancholy does not mean the annihilation of the self nor does it call for hollowness. Its source of inspiration resides in the vital force of creation which strives to bring to the light of speech that which can only be glimpsed at in the darkness of the night

Full textThe present thesis carries the burden of asserting the relevance of Henry David Thoreau´s texts for moral philosophy. Two parallel strategies have been used to complete the task. The first is a thorough discussion of a group of authors who presented to Thoreau different views on morality and the role of philosophy in the weaving of a life worthy of being lived: William Ellery Channing´s Unitarianism, the doctrines of the Scottish Common Sense - Dugald Stewart and Thomas Reid, William Paley´s theological utilitarianism, rational intuitionism of Cambridge Platonists (represented here by Ralph Cudworth), Orestes Brownson and Ralph Waldo Emerson - two of the leading names of New England Transcendentalism and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Victor Cousin and Thomas Carlyle - first interpreters of German Idealism to the English-speaking world. The second strategy articulates Thoreau´s reaction to these different positions on morality, showing how, from this reaction, he was able to formulate an exercise in moral thinking, crystallized, emblematically, in the writing of Walden. The concept of "fictional identity" was designed to capture different techniques used in this exercise.

Jovanović, Milan. "Christabel: the nemesis of Coleridge and Wordsworth's friendship." Master's thesis, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10451/439.
Full textAlthough Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 1834), an English poet of the Romantic period, is now celebrated as one of the most important public figures of his time, his professional and private lives prove that this status he presently has was widely challenged during his lifetime. He was frequently criticised by his contemporaries, while his poems, Christabel (1816) in particular, were generally misunderstood and rejected as not worthy of his name. This poem, the one we focused on in this thesis, acted as a true nemesis, the key enemy, which happened to be one of the reasons why Coleridge's friendship with his best friend William Wordsworth (1770 1850) began to fade. The following two ideas guided us in writing this thesis. The first idea involves the nature of Coleridge and Wordsworth's friendship. These poets marked the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century. They became close friends in 1797. Their friendship resulted, among other things, in a joint collection of poems, Lyrical Ballads (1798), whose publication is generally taken as the beginning of Romanticism in England. This complex friendship, with its implications, motivated us to undertake this research. Our second guiding idea is Coleridge's unfinished poem Christabel. It was supposed to conclude the second edition of Lyrical Ballads (1800). Unfortunately, Wordsworth decided to exclude it which devastated Coleridge poetically and psychologically. Profoundly disturbed by Wordsworth's decision, among other reasons, Coleridge turned to opium, lamenting over lost poetic powers. Christabel consequently became a true nemesis for Coleridge, which as some sort of a spell, tormented Coleridge till his death. This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first will explore the nature of Coleridge and Wordsworth's friendship. The second will focus on the analysis of Christabel which initiated the disintegration of the poets'strong friendship and prolific collaboration.
