Romantic poetry mainly refers to English romantic poetry.
Its heyday began in the 1970s of 18 and ended in the 20s of 19. The famous poets are mainly Burns, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats.
Modernism is still a valuable poetic experience. It is an important part of modern ideology and culture, which has played a pioneering role for them and played a breakthrough historical role. But romanticism is a bigger poetic phenomenon in scale, influence and today's consequences. Several roots of modernism lie in romanticism; The goal pursued by romanticism has not been fully realized today, while modernism is a literary fashion.
It has become a thing of the past.
In order to explain this, it is necessary to re-understand romanticism. Romanticism covers a wide range and its content is complex, which needs to be limited. As the first step, I choose English romantic poetry as a new understanding.
Specific goals.
The special importance of English romanticism is partly due to its environment and partly due to its performance. On the environment, Britain is the first country to experience the first industrial revolution, the largest colonial empire in the world, and its government is used at home.
Mass movements were severely dealt with, and the people's struggle became more and more fierce, which eventually led to the later charter movement and parliamentary reform. From Blake to Keats, romantic poets have deep feelings about such an environment.
In terms of poetry, the works show unprecedented sharpness.
On expression: English romantic poetry has a long time and a large number. Two generations of important poets have many immortal works, which have broken through predecessors and national boundaries in subject matter and poetry art and become literature and thoughts all over Europe and even the world.
Influence. The theory of modern poetry in Britain also began in this period, and several great poets made great contributions.
For these reasons, English romantic poetry is not only British, but also an important part of world poetry. Re-understanding it is also a little more understanding of world poetry.
Re-understanding is to understand its history-its origin and development, its rise and development, which important poets are there, what major works they have written, what characteristics it has in thought and art, and what changes have taken place.
What's the impact, what's the significance for today, and so on.
It is Li Bai who represents the highest peak of romantic poetry in China's poetry creation.
Li Bai (70 1-762), Han nationality, Taibai, was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. His poetic style is bold and elegant, with rich imagination, fluent and natural language and harmonious temperament. He is good at absorbing nutrients from folk songs and myths, forming his unique magnificent and gorgeous colors. He is the new peak of active romantic poetry since Qu Yuan, and is also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. He is the greatest poet in China history. Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the poor" and "settling down in peace", and he struggled to realize this ideal all his life. A large number of his poems not only reflected the prosperity of that era, but also exposed and criticized the debauchery and corruption of the ruling group, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals. In art, his poems are novel in imagination, strong in emotion, magnificent in artistic conception and fresh and lively in language, forming a bold artistic style and reaching the peak of positive romantic poetry in ancient China. There are more than 900 poems, including Li Taibai's poems.
His poems are rich in imagination, unique in conception, magnificent and bold in style, and he is a representative figure of romantic poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Characteristics of romantic poetry;
Romantic poetry has the following characteristics: advocating creative freedom, describing nature, paying attention to the innovation and anti-imitation of folk literature and art, emphasizing strangeness and ignoring the ordinary, describing strange plots with bold imagination and exaggeration, and shaping extraordinary and unique characters. Romantic poetry is novel in form, free in rhythm, rich in rhetoric and moving in metaphor. Romantic poetry has different characteristics in different countries. Take Guo Moruo's early poems as an example to make an analysis:
1, advocating creative freedom. Let's take the goddess for example. No matter its creative form, creative thought or emotional freedom, it embodies the characteristics of romantic poetry.
2. Describe nature. Mr. Guo Moruo was an early pantheist. In the artistic creation of Goddess, the poet takes the whole nature as the writing object, so the universe, earth, sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, lightning, plants and birds all run to the bottom of the pen.
3. With bold imagination and exaggerated techniques, we describe strange plots and shape extraordinary and unique characters. We can appreciate the unique imagination and extraordinary ability to empower people from the poem "I created a solemn mountain and a magnificent ocean, I created the sun, the moon and the stars, and I rode storms and lightning" ("Xiang Lei").
