Wordsworth’s Poetics of Remembering in the Light of Locke’s Philosophy of Human Identity

Shelley’s Poetics of Forgetting in the Light of Rousseau’s Critique of the Enlightenment Selfhood

본문내용

My argument in this essay is that, after the French Revolution, the English Romantic self, as represented in several poems of William Wordsworth, goes through a purifying process for its identification, but as represented in the poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley, it also goes through a purgatorial process for its annihilation in the later Romantic period. The process for Wordsworth is primarily accomplished through acts of remembering, and through facing the memory of the past, that is, history, whether personal or public. In the case of Shelley, the process is accomplished through acts of forgetting history. There are thus significant differences between Wordsworth, the major figure of early Romantics, and later figures born after or just before the revolutionary year of 1789 such as Shelley, John Keats and Lord George Gordon Byron, in their presentations of selfhood and in their poetic reactions to revolutionary disillusionment and defeat.
First, I will show how Wordsworth, in the philosophical tradition of John Locke, tries to reestablish his internalized selfhood through poetic, somewhat ritualistic acts of remembering and purification. Then, I will show that Shelley follows the tradition of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and thus his selfhood is presented through a poetics of forgetting and purgation in The Triumph of Life. I will focus on the Wordsworthian self and the “spots of time” in The Prelude, and I will briefly compare his poetically established selfhood with Shelley's annihilated selfhood. My discussion on the two poets’ Romantic poetics will be confined within Locke’s theory of human identity and Rousseau’s critique of the Enlightenment self.
I call Wordsworth's poetics that of purification or washing away and Shelley's that of purgation or giving up. In this paper, purification refers to the ritualistic acts of washing polluted and impure things from the Romantic selfhood and of recovering its condition of purity; purgation refers to acts of giving up and of annihilating the polluted and impure selfhood, specifically the pollution and impurity found in the Western rational selfhood of the French Revolution and of the Enlightenment. Wordsworth and Shelley, who had participated directly or indirectly in the Enlightenment project, both try to procure a new Romantic self in the aftermath of the failed Revolution. In the process, Wordsworth seeks to recover the Enlightenment selfhood, but Shelley attempts to blot out it.
