| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: Lyrical Ballads William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 2013-07-11 Wordsworth and Coleridge's joint collection of poems has often been singled out as the founding text of English Romanticism.

It includes important letters, a wide-ranging introduction and generous notes. |
| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: "A Natural Delineation of Human Passions" , 2016-08-09 Most of the articles in A Natural Delineation of Human Passions” originated in the Twelfth October Conference held in Leiden to celebrate the bicentenary of the publication of Lyrical Ballads. The first article, by the editor, “An Historic Moment: ‘A Natural Delineation of Human Passions’ as a ‘New Morality’?”, attempts to establish an historic and an historical context, both personal and political, for the six articles that follow, by Åke Bergvall, Myra Cottingham, C.P. Seabrook Wilkinson, James McGonigal, Jacqueline Schoemaker, and Suzanne E. Webster, which consider the themes of vagrancy and wandering in Lyrical Ballads, the expression of loss and compensation, and the consequences, both beneficial and perilous, for the language and rhetoric of poetry. Then three articles, by Annemarie Estor, Daniel Sanjiv Roberts, and Paul E.A. van Gestel, consider the ambience of science and philosophy in which Wordsworth and Coleridge strove to affirm the creative participation of poetry. After this, Jacqueline M. Labbe, Titus P. Bicknell, Robert Druce, and M. Van Wyk Smith discuss the parallel contributions of some of the more neglected contemporaries of the authors of Lyrical Ballads, not necessarily in English nor necessarily in England – Mary Robinson, Walter Savage Landor, Robert Bloomfield and Thomas Pringle. The volume concludes with an extended examination by Timothy Webb of the responses, both admiring and scornful, of the younger generation of Romantics to the legacy of Lyrical Ballads. |

| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: Darwin Ruth Padel, 2011-11-23 This remarkable book brings us an intimate and moving interpretation of the life and work of Charles Darwin, by Ruth Padel, an acclaimed British poet and a direct descendant of the famous scientist. Charles Darwin, born in 1809, lost his mother at the age of eight, repressed all memory of her, and poured his passion into solitary walks, newt collecting, and shooting. His five-year voyage on H.M.S. Beagle, when he was in his twenties, changed his life. Afterward, he began publishing his findings and working privately on groundbreaking theories about the development of animal species, including human beings, and he made a nervous proposal to his cousin Emma. Padel’s poems sparkle with nuance and feeling as she shows us the marriage that ensued, and the rich, creative atmosphere the Darwins provided for their ten children. Charles and Emma were happy in each other, but both were painfully aware of the gulf between her deep Christian faith and his increasing religious doubt. The death of three of their children accentuated this gulf. For Darwin, death and extinction were nature’s way of developing new species: the survival of the fittest; for Emma, death was a prelude to the afterlife. These marvelous poems—enriched by helpful marginal notes and by Padel’s ability to move among multiple viewpoints, always keeping Darwin at the center—bring to life the great scientist as well as the private man and tender father. This is a biography in rare form, with an unquantifiable depth of family intimacy and warmth. |

| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: John Cowper Powys and the Afterlife of Romanticism Kim Wheatley, 2025-01-09 This study bridges the chronological divide between the Romantic era and the first six decades of the 20th century, interpreting John Cowper Powys (1872–1963) as a major, under-recognized contributor to the cultural transmission of Romanticism. Kim Wheatley's John Cowper Powys and the Afterlife of Romanticism uncovers the surprising extent to which this multi-faceted Modernist-era author reworked key concerns of the Romantic poets. Wheatley shows how Powys's prose rewritings of Romantic poetry contribute to the story of the posthumous life of Romanticism, especially its environmental legacy. In particular, the book expands our understanding of the early 20th-century reception of William Wordsworth and John Keats. Wheatley argues that Powys anticipates and presciently interrogates recent revisionary critical approaches to the Romantics, primarily materialist eco-critical approaches, and therefore invites a fresh environmentalist criticism open to the transcendental and the supernatural. Chapters range across Powys's extensive oeuvre, investigating his treatment of Wordsworth and Keats in his works of fiction, autobiographical writings, popular philosophical books, and essays of literary appreciation, including his Autobiography (1934), his four major Wessex novels – Wolf Solent (1929), A Glastonbury Romance (1932), Weymouth Sands (1934), and Maiden Castle (1936) – and his later Welsh historical novels Owen Glendower (1941) and Porius (1951). Wheatley demonstrates how Powys uniquely combines sense-based nature-worship, the leveling of animate and inanimate, and care for disabled human beings, along with mystical and magical themes, into an all-encompassing ecological vision more capacious than any imagined by the Romantics themselves. |

| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: Victorian Women Poets Tess Cosslett, 2017-07-05 Through her selection of fourteen essays, Tess Cosslett charts the rediscovery by feminist critics of the Victorian Women Poets such as Emily Brontë, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti, and the subsequent developments as critics use a range of modern theoretical approaches to understand and promote the work of these non-canonical and marginalised poets. While the essays chosen for this volume focus on these three major figures, work is also included on less well-known poets who have only recently been brought into critical prominence. The introduction clarifies for the reader the themes, problems and preoccupations that inform the criticism and provides a useful guide to the debates surrounding poetry and feminism, investigating such questions as, how feminist are these poems, and does a women s tradition really exist? The advantages and disadvantages of applying different critical approaches, such as psychoanalytic and historicist, to the understanding of this period and genre are also fully explored. |

| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: Majestic Indolence Willard Spiegelman, 1995 Majestic Indolence examines the theme of indolence - in both its positive and negative forms - as it appears in the work of four canonical Romantic poets. Wordsworth's wise passiveness, Coleridge's dejection and numbing torpor, Shelley's experiments with pastoral dolce far niente, and Keats's figures of delicious diligent indolence are treated as individual manifestations of a common theme. Spiegelman pursues the trope of indolence to its origins in the economic, medical, philosophical, psychological, religious, and literary discourses from the middle ages to the late eighteenth century. Offering an alternative to recent politically and ideologically motivated literary theory, Spiegelman looks closely at how the poems work. He argues for renewed appreciation of poetic style, literary formalism, and aesthetics as the best gauge to the Romantic treatment of nature and the sublime. The book concludes by examining the transformation of English Romanticism at the hands of two American heirs, Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. |

| ruth by william wordsworth stanza explanation: The Ballad World of Anna Gordon, Mrs. Brown of Falkland Ruth Perry, 2025-05-20 This book is a biographical study of unprecedented scope and detail of the celebrated Anna Gordon, Mrs. Brown of Falkland, whose magnificent repertory of old Scottish ballads attracted the fascinated attention of intellectuals and song collectors during the later years of the eighteenth century. Her ballads--the earliest to be gathered from a named living person--were recognized by the great Francis James Child as a unique source in the Anglo/Scottish tradition, superior in quality to all other versions. Anna Gordon was a literary woman, with a strongly intellectual middle-class background, educated by her father, a professor in one of Scotland's four universities who, himself, made significant contributions to Scottish Enlightenment thinking about literacy and the nature of language. She lived at the intersection of several different worlds, reflecting balladry, oral tradition and women's culture, as well as Enlightenment debates about orality and literacy and the rapidly-expanding imperial enterprise. The story encompasses three generations of her remarkable family as they entered the wider Atlantic world, with adventures in Scotland, Virginia, and the West Indies, including an elopement and a duel, capture by pirates, and an evening party given by George Washington. The book includes an examination of the complex musical and cultural context from which Anna Gordon sprang. Threaded throughout are discussions of the ballads that brought her fame, revealing the deep importance of traditional music in Scottish society and the centrality of women as tradition-bearers in balladry, one of the great verbal and musical art-forms of Western Europe. Historically-informed audio recordings of twelve ballads from her original manuscripts with musical settings based on the notations of her gifted nephew, Robert Eden Scott, have been made for an accompanying website specially created for this book by leading Scottish folk musicians. |
