William Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey". A Poem Analysis
About this book
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: sob, language: English, abstract: "Tintern Abbey" is considered as a kind of monologue in verse as Wordsworth confessed that he composed it in his mind while walking through the river Wye. It belongs, along with other 19 poems by this author and four by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, to Lyrical Ballads, which is considered to be the inaugural book of the Romantic English Poetry. The main focus of these poems was that of looking for common life situations and depicting them in an unusual manner by means of the power of imagination. Wordsworth defined poetry as "[…] the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" and this consists on a breaking up with the 18th century concept of Classicist Canon which looked for poetical perfection. On the contrary, Wordsworth is influenced by the new 19th century ideas of "individualism" and seeks for the use of imagination and true feelings, not being so worried about poetical structural conventions
