"Preface to Lyrical Ballads" - by William Wordsworth
In the 'Advertisement' to the 1798 edition of Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth and Coleridge state that the poems in the collection were intended as a deliberate experiment in style and subject matter. Wordsworth elaborated on this idea in the "preface" to the 1800 and 1802 editions which outline his main ideas of a new poetry.
1). What is the basic difference between poetic creed of 'classicism' and 'romanticism' ?
=) The basic difference between classicism and romanticism, both are two ideologies and they are school of thought, also techniques of writing. Classicism is like intellect is the guiding force. Romanticism like as an imagination is the guiding source.
=) Aristotle, Plato, Socratise are relied on the classical masters. Classicism connected to the Bible or biblical story. Classicism like as objectivity.
=) Romanticism talked about the medieval writers and romanticism like as subjective.
2). Why does Wordsworth say ' what is poet ?' rather who is poet ?
=) Wordsworth asks what is poet because this is regards to the answer and says that, he is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness.
=) He has greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than one supposed to be common among mankind.
3). What is poetic diction ? Which sort of poetic diction suggested by Wordsworth in his preface ?
=) Poetic diction is choice of words. The language ad really used by men, but it should be a selection of such language.
=) It should be the language of men in a state of vivid sensation. It should have a certain colouring of imagination.
=) There is no essential difference between the words used in prose and in metrical composition. Words of prose and poetry are not clearly discriminated, so that words which be used in prose can find place in poetry and vice-versa.
4). What is poetry ?
=) Poetry, according to Wordsworth, is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge, the impassioned expression that is in the countenance of all science.
