Essay / Wordsworth's Romantic Style Present in Tintern Abbey
Tintern Abbey of Williamworth is an ideal example of romantic poetry. As the "Wordsworth Tintern Abbey" webpage notes, this memory was added to the end of his book Lyrical Ballads, as a spontaneous poem that formed while revisiting Wye Valley with his sister (Wordsworth Tintern Abbey) . His writing style incorporated all the romantic perceptions, such as nature, the ordinary, the individual, imagination and distance, which he used most creatively to create distinctive memories of nature and of emotion, centered on vivid descriptions of his individuality. reactions to these everyday, ordinary things. Tintern Abbey is just an old ruin (William). However, throughout the poetry of Tintern Abbey, Tintern Abbey becomes something slightly more than a ruin. His poem recognizes the ordinary and turns it into a spectacular memory, whose ordinary characteristics are his main models for Nature. As Geoffryy H. Hartman notes in his “Wordsworth's Poetry 1787-1814,” “Everything in nature stirs [Wordsworth] and in turn renews his sense of nature” (Hartman 29). "The Poetry of Williamworth" recalls a quote from the 1802 edition of Toworth's Lyrical Ballads of the Prelude where they said "[he] believed that his fellow poets should 'select incidents and situations from common life and relate or describe...in a selection". of the language actually used by men" (Poetry). In the most superficial sense, Worth uses his vision of Tintern Abbey as a platform or souvenir, however, this ordinary act of memory arouses in him a deeper understanding in its elaboration in "Tintern Abbey", he says "For I have learned to look at nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but by often hearing the calm, middle of paper ...... emotion, nature and imagination he used as effective tools in an exploration of humanity and memory, hoping to reveal the true temperament of the human individual, or the search for the definitive nature, of man, and so goes the quest of the romantics and their concentration on the individual and thus “Nature will not stop writing” (Bloom 131).
