Coleridge viewed poetry as a mental process of the poet's mind that involves imagination and the modification of images, thoughts, and emotions. For Coleridge, poetry is a wider category than just poems in meter and can exist without the distinguishing form of a poem. True poetry results from the poetic genius through a mental process that connects ideas with images, the general with the concrete, and brings a sense of novelty to familiar objects through secondary imagination and a balance of emotion and order.

The concept of imagination in biographia literaria

Coleridge coined the term "esemplastic" to describe imagination's ability to shape multiple ideas into a unified whole. In contrast, fancy is a mechanical, passive faculty that accumulates facts but cannot create anything new. Coleridge viewed imagination as the primary creative force in writing.

Theme of paradise lost
Milton's purpose in Paradise Lost has three parts: 1) to show how disobedience leads to calamity, 2) to assert God's eternal providence, and 3) to justify God's ways to men. For the first point, Milton establishes a hierarchical universe where obedience to superiors is crucial. Adam and Eve's disobedience disrupts this order and brings sin into the world. For the second, God allows free will knowing the fall will occur to demonstrate his love through salvation. And finally, the fall produces the greater good of redemption, showing the justice behind God's actions.

To Arnold, the greatest poetry, like that of Homer, Dante, and Milton, has high seriousness that gives their criticism of life profound power through absolute sincerity.

Coleridge view on "The Nature and Function of Poem".

Additionally, Coleridge saw prose as having the immediate purpose of conveying truth, with all parts mutually supporting each other and harmonizing with the metric arrangement.

Notes: Preface to Lyrical Ballads by Wordsworth
Wordsworth believed poetry arises from powerful emotions that are recollected later in a state of tranquility. He argued poetry should use everyday language that ordinary people use rather than ornate poetic language. He wanted poetry to reflect the human experience and relationship with nature. Poetry should describe simple subjects and situations that are easily understood and remembered. A poet is an ordinary person who experiences strong feelings and can vividly recall those emotions later to convey them to others through their writing.

The Study of Poetry - Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold viewed poetry as the "criticism of life" that is governed by poetic truth and beauty. He believed the best poetry has seriousness of substance combined with superior style and diction. Arnold analyzed poets using his "touchstone method" of comparison and advocated for disinterested criticism. However, critics argue he did not always practice disinterested criticism and overemphasized morality. Overall, Arnold made significant contributions to literary criticism through his analysis of poets and emphasis on poetry's relationship to interpreting life.
Difference between Criticism and Creativity
This document is a student paper submitted to the Department of English comparing criticism and creativity. It discusses how criticism analyzes existing works while creativity brings new works into being. While distinct, the two are interrelated as criticism can be creative and creativity involves critical observation. The document provides examples of writers who were both critics and creatives. It argues that the ideal critic possesses both analytical skills and the vision of an artist to understand a work from its creation. In conclusion, the relationship between criticism and creativity is complex, with each relying on elements of the other.
Difference between poem and poerty
Coleridge introduced a new technique of appreciation criticism focused on interpreting works of art rather than judging them. He believed criticism should stress the emotional effect of art and saw art as a source of moral and philosophical wisdom. His major critical work, Biographia Literaria, contained theories of poetry and examined the difference between a poem, which deals with subjects through structured language, and poetry, which deals with objects and can arouse shock through secondary imagination.

Shelley coleridge arnold
This document discusses the views of three major English Romantic poets and critics on poetry: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Matthew Arnold. Shelley believed poets are the "unacknowledged legislators of the world" and that poetry is directly involved in social activities. Coleridge saw poetry as an organic thing that cannot be measured by external standards, and that ideal poets have imagination as a gift. He also believed in art for art's sake. Matthew Arnold viewed poetry as the 'criticism of life' that should express philosophy and believed the most important criteria were "high truth" and "high seriousness."
