jakson William Wordsworth's "The world is too much with us" kansikuva

William Wordsworth's "The world is too much with us"

William Wordsworth (1770-1850), one of the central figures of British Romantic literature, is widely known as a nature poet. He is one of the first writers to develop a sophisticated exploration of the relationship between the natural world and the psychological, perhaps even spiritual flourishing of human beings. This poem in particular is one of Wordsworth's most widely known sonnets, but I've included it here in Influential Lyrics for a particular reason: this poem, together with a lyric called "I wandered lonely as a cloud" which we'll consider in the next episode, will help illustrate a sea-change in much of Western culture that happened in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and that was a driving force of Romantic period poetry in English and that still echoes through economic, political, and environmental thinking in the 21st century.

jakson Richard Lovelace, "To Althea: from Prison" kansikuva

Richard Lovelace, "To Althea: from Prison"

Richard Lovelace (1618-1657) is not quite so famous as some of the other poets featured here on Influential Lyrics, but his work offers some of the best examples of "Cavalier Poetry"--a mode of writing that came into prominence in the middle years of the 17th century. The Cavalier Poets (so named because of their loyalty to King Charles I) produced dozens of poems that celebrate aspects of the "good life." Beauty, love, friendship, and loyal dedication are among the key themes, all typically presented in a joyful live-for-today, carpe diem attitude. The present podcase offers an explication of Lovelace's most famous poem, complete with the necessary historical backgrounds and a brief commentary on the nature of poetic language.
