英國 浪漫主義 詩文學 小考 = A Study on Romantic Poetry in England

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The romanticism, the meaning of which is so varied and complex to such a degree that we cannot define its real meaning, regards the man as a existence which is full of infinite possibility. However, as the result of abusing 'imagination' without deep thoughts, it fell into the decadenticism by the end of 19th century.
Since the romanticists fell into the sentimentality extremely, moaning and groaning frequently, many critics came to resist their melancholy and sensitive attitudes. John Webster, in one of his poems, gave them such a scolding as "End your moan and come away." Therefore, the resisters wanted the coming of 'dry and hard poems', and at the same time, came to prophesy the coming of classical poems. They proposed that the concept of 'limitlessness' be excluded in poetry.
But due to Walter Pater, 'classical' means, "Order and harmony in beauty", and 'romantic' means, "Queerness and curiosity in beauty." Since 'time' and 'curiosity' of the man are not restricted by anything, they are, in a sense, enternal. Therefore, 'classical' is not limited to the romantic period in a general meaning, nor minopolized by the 19th century.
Such a tendency existed in old Greece and Rome, in the Middle Ages, and even at the present time when we are living now. And it is quite certain that future time will have such a tendency. It should be borne in our midds that there may be a difference of degree and in the romantic period the 'romantic' tendency was merely more stronger than any other times.
As long as we, human beings live and write poems, I think, 'romantic' attitude is round us for ever without disappearing. Therefore, the 'romantic' movement has a great meaning and significant position in our history of art.
