Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theology in the English Poets: Cowper, Coleridge, Wordsworth Burns In giving his consent to the repainting of the Present volume, Mr. Stopford Brooke has preferred that the lectures should still retain their original form, and not be in any way altered or modified. This decision will without doubt gratify all those who first learnt to know the book in previous editions, and who would as certainly resent any change in it, seeing that a specific part of its charm consists in its use of the wisdom and knowledge of criticism, applied with the discursive art of the lecturer, and with a spontaneity which any after-thought might spoil. There is no need now to point out how much of that criticism and how many of its lucid terms and sympathetic distinctions have entered into the very currency of our time. The account it gives of the evolution in the English poets of a new idea of Nature is of a part with its author´s abiding faith and philosophy expressed in divers ways and books, and both in prose and verse. A nobler appreciation of Wordsworth is not to be found anywhere, not even in Coleridge, than we have in the lectures here devoted to him. At the heart of it lies the thought which may be found concentrated in one of its author´s own poems - "Impose your moods on Nature, and the moods Alone return to you. Her joyful ways Where great and solitary Beauty broods, And makes the world - are hidden from your gaze. But love her for herself, unfold your breast To hear her music, and receive her fire - You shall have joy, and beauty, and the rest Of self-forgetfulness and dead desire."
