  • Visions beyond reality : Keat's poetic rejection of enlightenment philosophy

    Creator:
    Plett, Corey J.
    Abstract:
    John Keats, as a principal figure in the Romantic movement in Europe, reacted against the philosophy of the Enlightenment. His poetry and letters are testament to his distrust of, and resistance to, an ever increasingly clinical and "reasonable" society. Keats's poetic thought--imaginative, speculative, dialectic--is the antithesis of an Enlightenment philosophy...

    Creator:
    Riccio, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Across the U.S. social activism is on the upsurge, offering possibilities for a revolution against capitalism.
