Wordsworth's poetic point "All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" is stated in his important work The Preface to Lyrical Ballads (1801), and this theoretical point is actually validated by many good poems of his own. This paper demonstrates the significance of the theoretical point by a close examination of The Preface and its textual meanings. And then it presents an understanding of the theory through a detailed analysis of his masterpiece Tintern Abbey (1798) and I Wandered lonely as a cloud (1804). It also demonstrates the importance and influence of his "poetic spontaneity" by comparing it with the Neo-classicalism in the 18th century and the Modernism in the 20th century.展开更多

In other words, since she was convient that "Abdiction of Belief makes the Behaviour Small", she undercut social conventions and moved under gradual shift from Orthodox Trinitarianism into new thoughts of liberalism. However, in good deal of her work, she still pertains to religious conservatism in wider sense than Amhest Church had been dectated.展开更多

To this end, I have chosen three well-known poets, Wang Wei (706-761) in Tang Dynasty (618-907), Su Shi (1037-1101) and Zhou Dunyi (1017-1073) in Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). All three poets were also high ranking governmental officials. They were leaders of high personal integrity.展开更多

That is, if as beliefs underlying social relations in a binary world of identity exclusions would not be in a process of weakening, allowing us to perceive new ways of latent arrangements. In a second instance, after recognizing that plurality requires recognition of the freedoms of belief and expression, we question the limits of such freedom point to a cosmopolitan ethics. For that matter, we take as reference in the non-religions in the Brazilian urban peripheries.展开更多
