초록
This paper aims at illuminating Coleridge and Wordsworth’s poetic dialogues with attention to the intense formal experimentation geared toward the discovery of a modern poetic form that can respond to the changing historical condition of the contemporary period. The “conversation poem,” which contains a dialogic context within a seemingly lyrical text signals the Romantic poets’ unprecedented awareness of isolate selfhood. Through the exploration of communicative possibilities, romantic writers attempt to reconnect severed ties between individuals and restore a sense of community. Although many of the conversation poems ultimately succumb to the impulse toward poetic authority and renounce dialogic elements in that process, they still display traces of profound sympathy and solidarity with other human beings. Especially, Colerdige’s “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison” shows the fact that the Romantic attempt to reconcile with the external world is often conditioned by intersubjective contexts. “Nature” in this poem is represented as an environment shared between human beings and recognized collectively by them. Friendly sympathy alters the way in which the poet envisions the mannature interaction. By crossing the boundaries of the ego, Coleridge simultaneously achieves the vision of a renewed relationship between human beings and nature. On the other hand, Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortalit” consciously departs from the Coleridgean model of the conversation poem and thereby invents his own poetic mode. This poem presents an internalized conversation, which functions as a formal reflection of the poem’s content that bespeaks self-sufficient affirmation. Wordsworth’s completion of the Romantic lyric largely eliminates dialogic elements formerly contained in the conversation poem. This shift in the formal structure, in turn, expresses Wordsworth’s evolving conviction that the individual should discover power and guidance from within.
Abstract
This paper aims at illuminating Coleridge and Wordsworth’s poetic dialogues with attention to the intense formal experimentation geared toward the discovery of a modern poetic form that can respond to the changing historical condition of the contemporary period. The “conversation poem,” which contains a dialogic context within a seemingly lyrical text signals the Romantic poets’ unprecedented awareness of isolate selfhood. Through the exploration of communicative possibilities, romantic writers attempt to reconnect severed ties between individuals and restore a sense of community. Although many of the conversation poems ultimately succumb to the impulse toward poetic authority and renounce dialogic elements in that process, they still display traces of profound sympathy and solidarity with other human beings. Especially, Colerdige’s “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison” shows the fact that the Romantic attempt to reconcile with the external world is often conditioned by intersubjective contexts. “Nature” in this poem is represented as an environment shared between human beings and recognized collectively by them. Friendly sympathy alters the way in which the poet envisions the mannature interaction. By crossing the boundaries of the ego, Coleridge simultaneously achieves the vision of a renewed relationship between human beings and nature. On the other hand, Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortalit” consciously departs from the Coleridgean model of the conversation poem and thereby invents his own poetic mode. This poem presents an internalized conversation, which functions as a formal reflection of the poem’s content that bespeaks self-sufficient affirmation. Wordsworth’s completion of the Romantic lyric largely eliminates dialogic elements formerly contained in the conversation poem. This shift in the formal structure, in turn, expresses Wordsworth’s evolving conviction that the individual should discover power and guidance from within.
