- 4. z Samuel Taylor Coleridge (21 October 1772 – 25 July 1834) was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher and theologian who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria. His critical work, especially on William Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English- speaking culture. Coleridge coined many familiar words and phrases, including suspension of disbelief. He had a major influence on Ralph Waldo Emerson and on American transcendentalism.
- 5. z Throughout his adult life Coleridge had crippling bouts of anxiety and depression; it has been speculated that he had bipolar disorder, which had not been defined during his lifetime. He was physically unhealthy, which may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these conditions with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addiction.
- 6. z A simple answer to how it is a romantic poem is to state the poem is written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He, along with William Wordsworth, is one of the most famous Romantic authors. He and Wordsworth practically started the movement. Of course that doesn't mean everything Coleridge ever wrote is a prime example of Romantic literature, but "Kubla Khan" definitely is.
- 7. z One thing to associate with Romanticism is a focus on nature. And it isn't just a simple fascination with nature. It's a reverence for nature. It extends practically to the point where nature is a mystical being that can grant clarity to those who are lucky enough to commune with it/him/her. "Kubla Khan" features the nature motif throughout the entire poem.
- 8. z Again, the reader can see how Coleridge is making nature into almost a physical being. He has rocks dancing and the river flinging. It's all so big and amazing to him that it is completely "measureless." It must be a truly beautiful place. That reverent focus on nature is why "Kubla Khan" is a good example of Romantic poetry.

- 15. z Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson FRS (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892) was a British poet. He was the Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets. In 1829, Tennyson was awarded the Chancellor's Gold Medal at Cambridge for one of his first pieces, "Timbuktu." He published his first solo collection of poems, Poems Chiefly Lyrical in 1830. "Claribel" and "Mariana", which remain some of Tennyson's most celebrated poems, were included in this volume. Although decried by some critics as overly sentimental, his verse soon proved popular and brought Tennyson to the attention of well- known writers of the day, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Tennyson's early poetry, with its medievalism and powerful visual imagery, was a major influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
- 16. z Tennyson also excelled at penning short lyrics, such as "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", "Tears, Idle Tears", and "Crossing the Bar". Much of his verse was based on classical mythological themes, such as "Ulysses", although "In Memoriam A.H.H." was written to commemorate his friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and student at Trinity College, Cambridge, after he died of a stroke at the age of 22.Tennyson also wrote some notable blank verse including Idylls of the King, "Ulysses", and "Tithonus". During his career, Tennyson attempted drama, but his plays enjoyed little success.
- 17. z A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have become commonplaces of the English language, including "Nature, red in tooth and claw" (In Memoriam A.H.H.), "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all", "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die", "My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart is pure", "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield", "Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers", and "The old order changeth, yielding place to new". He is the ninth most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
- 18. z The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse in 1888 is an example of a work in Romanticism. It’s a pictorial interpretation of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, The Lady of Shalott. The poem’s about the mysterious lady of Shalott who has been cursed in a castle, forbidden to look outside. So instead, she watches the world go by in a magic mirror and spends her days weaving a magic web. One day, she saw Sir Lancelot through the magic mirror and was completely captivated that she broke the rule and looked outside. After she caught a glimpse on Sir Lancelot and Camelot, the magic mirror cracked. Knowing that the curse has come upon her, she set out for Camelot in a boat where she wrote her name. This was the part that Waterhouse painted.
- 19. z In the painting, there’s a crucifix and three candles in the prow of the boat, which reinforces the funeral tone of her embarkation. Two candles were out which symbolize that the end of her life is near. The tapestry the lady wove in her tower hangs from the side of the boat representing her prior life, which she has surrendered for love, and decorated with scenes of the colorful world that she has determined to join. The Lady is about to let go of the chain which moors the boat, symbolic of her release from the tower, her freedom from imprisonment. The dark forest background provides sadness for her oncoming funeral. I can see in her face the sorrow and defeat and that she already accepted her inevitable death.
- 20. z This painting is about a woman escaping, though with the expense of her life, to see the world and follow her heart. Some people said that the fallen leaf on her lap tells her story, that she’s the “fallen leaf”, fallen and dying. She’s a fallen woman. But I beg to contradict. Dying doesn’t always mean falling. Sometimes, it’s freedom. She’s finally free from the prison where she had been living in her life. She finally broke free from the curse that had hunted her in her lifetime.
- 21. z She drifted through the river, chanted her deathsong, and died. People from Camelot found her as a pale, deadcold corpse. They also found a parchment on her breast that said,”The web was woven curiously, the charm is broken utterly, draw near and fear not—this is I, The Lady of Shalott.”
- 22. z As I looked at this painting, I don’t know why but I felt a strong emotion. It’s as if I felt the conveyed melancholy of this work of art. And you can imagine how sad I became the moment I read about the poignant story behind the painting. I was moved, which means the painting is good because that’s what art should be, to touch where the hands can’t. I felt that thing they call as “duende”.
