18th century moments
Content:
This title offers a critical examination of Wordsworth's and Coleridge's naturalist construction of creative and critical perception, and a historical study of the perceptual dimension of poetic taste. 'Genial' is the adjectival form of 'genius,' and 18th-century critical naturalism understands 'genial' perception as a gift of nature. By exploring the philology of keywords and binaries inherited by the two poet-critics and used to describe and interpret their perceptual experience, both creative (imaginative) and critical, this work traces how that experience reveals an unacknowledged indebtedness to discourse and language, having been silently and perhaps unconsciously shaped by patterns and trends in the literary culture in which Wordsworth and Coleridge came of age.
