Shelley and the Apprehension of Life
Saved in:
| Title: | Shelley and the Apprehension of Life |
|---|---|
| Description: | Percy Bysshe Shelley, in the essay'On Life'(1819), stated'We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life'. Ross Wilson uses this statement as a starting point to explore Shelley's fundamental beliefs about life and the significance of poetry. Drawing on a wide range of Shelley's own writing and on philosophical thinking from Plato to the present, this book offers a timely intervention in the debate about what Romantic poets understood by'life'. For Shelley, it demonstrates poetry is emphatically'living melody', which stands in resolute contrast to a world in which life does not live. Wilson argues that Shelley's concern with the opposition between'living'and'the apprehension of life'is fundamental to his work and lies at the heart of Romantic-era thought. |
