Do you think this essay is relevant as a topic for MA? by Noufal Pt https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3 for those who read the essay en-us 2020-06-22 16:49:13 UTC 2020-06-22 17:31:23 UTC hello@padlet.com somebody said this in the previous link noufalpt https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636384715 As per my opinion Preface to Lyrical Ballads has no much significance today. It is true that it gave us the freedom to write poetry in a free manner, without any particular set of rules and regulations. Because according to Wordsworth, while writing poetry man and nature is to be considered and the poet should write about the emotions and it must give pleasure and the rest does not matter. Besides this fact all the rest of his opinions and explanations seems contradictory as u told in your lecture.]]> 2020-06-22 16:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636384715 Hiba https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636384720 Yes, cuz the statement "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions" is mentioned throughout our degree and PG studies. This essay provides an  idea to to the birth of this statement. ]]> 2020-06-22 16:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636384720 https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636387416 I think this essay is necessary. Because it brings out the idea of the emergence of romantic poetry and its purpose. When we go through the essay we can see that how the poetic composition is different from other poetic compositions. Wordsworth's view points are explained here in a scientific manner. So through this he could establish literature is also higher or same as science. ]]> 2020-06-22 16:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636387416 PT: I think It might help us to see what was the attitude of society to poetry or art in general at that time. because Wordsworth seems to answer some accusations that are prevalent in the society, though not directly, we can read it between the lines. so I think, it has a historiographic benefit today noufalpt https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636388864 2020-06-22 16:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636388864 No more observations? noufalpt https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636393327 2020-06-22 17:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/noufalpt/jf4he8adokha8sg3/wish/636393327 I thought of arranging a platform for you to talk.
