The Romantic Eye and Imagination in Selected Poetry from William Wordsworth and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
EN3227 - Romanticism
12 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
According to Bowra in The Romantic Imagination, imagination is “fundamental [to the Romantics] because they think that without it poetry is impossible” (1). It is regarded as an extension of the “contemporary belief in individual self,” which is able to bring about a “fuller consciousness of [one’s] own powers” that aids in the “fashioning of new worlds of the mind” (Bowra 2). By “modifying the objects observed,” (Bowra 7), the power of imagination lies in its ability to join “that which nature [has] severed and sever that which nature [has] joined” (Bowra 6). Imagination’s liminality as standing between what is real and what is not and its ability to reconcile the two states is what makes imagination “fundamental… for the Romantics” (Bowra 1).
