Wednesday, 2/26 - Is art a mirror or a lamp?

Reason as mirror, Imagination as lamp
  • P&P
  • GUM: Frustrated by England’s resistance to political and social change that would improve commoner's conditions the Romantic poets turned from the witty formal public verse of the eighteenth-century Augustans to a more private spontaneous lyric poetry; which expressed the Romantics beliefs that imagination rather than mere reason was the best response to the forces of change.
