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

Only with in-depth understanding of the imagination in William Blake＇s poems can those hidden emotions and thoughts be grasped and appreciated.展开更多
