The Romantic Style of P. B. Shelley’ s Poetry
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Shelley’ s poetry is rich and varied, harmonious in tone, delicate in feeling and expansive in artistic conception, which pushed the British romantic poetry to the peak. Shelley had a very high talent, received a good education since childhood, coupled with diligent thinking, and has twists and turns of life experience, so his works all reflect the pursuit of the truth of the strong philosophical mood. This article mainly focuses on two of Shelley’ s poems to analyze the romantic style of his poems from the image and theme. Shelley, as a political poet and lyric poet, expressed his poetic aesthetics very clearly. He endowed poets with a lofty mission, believing that they shoulder the dual mission of social revolution and artistic innovation. Of course, Shelley believes that this dual mission is realized in the poet’ s creative artistic imagination. Therefore, in Shelley’ s view, the real “imaginary expression” of poetry should have a spiritual inspiration and aesthetic influence. It can be said that Shelley’ s poetry aesthetics not only clearly reflects the characteristics of his changing era, but also illustrates his romantic aesthetic stance. Shelley’ s aesthetic thoughts of poetry are enlightening for people to better appreciate and understand his poems.
