A Defense Of Poetry by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Loading...
Uploaded by Amiduffer on Nov 30, 2007
A reading of excerpts from Shelleys essay, which, to my mind, explicitly makes the assertion that he is a "romantic" poet sound hollow and false.
"Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted."

This is a parody of intellectualism or the worst form of it, the only thing missing is show jumping.

I know you weren't attacking me. Do read Heine though. He might change your mind about using the term.
-
If you had read Heine's book on the Romantic School, which is provided on Google books, you would realize that the blanket characterization of that time period is a seriously flawed way of categorizing anything. Shelley considered himself a republican, so why shove him into a pigeonhole that doesn't fit?
