It takes the figure of Rousseau as he appears in ‘The Triumph of Life’ and suggests that Shelley’s brilliant gathering of images (chestnut tree, root, and highway) are derived ultimately from Émile (1762) and Discours sur l’origine et les fondements de l’ inégalité parmi les hommes (1755). I end by arguing that Rousseau’s conception of ‘frêle bonheur’ illuminates Shelley’s persistent return to weakness as a kind of strength, and what it means to accept interruption as the very condition of a continuing life.","PeriodicalId":134914,"journal":{"name":"Shelley's Broken World","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122720492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chapter 5 turns to Peter Bell the Third, Shelley’s satire on Wordsworth, and relates the moral death-in-life of Peter Bell to Shelley’s revulsion against the wish to remain unchangeably as we are, as previously discussed in Chapter 2. This chapter revisits a question that has perplexed certain Shelley critics: did Shelley actually read Kant? The chapter supplies an answer to the question. Under the name of Bell, Wordsworth appears as a Kantian disciple corrupted by an ethical system that elevates, as the fundamental principle of moral action, duty above sympathy or the pursuit of happiness.","PeriodicalId":134914,"journal":{"name":"Shelley's Broken World","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127247273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From Alastor to Epipsychidion one can discern the same concerns for form and for the limit-points of manifest phenomena. But it is with Epipsychidion that Shelley tests and reflects on how he is writing. The chapter argues that the poem is strongly influenced by Pope’s ‘Eloisa to Abelard’ (1717). The poem’s searching self-consciousness results in a poetics of equivocation, which emerges from Shelley’s familiarity with Samuel Daniel’s pamphlet ‘A Defence of Rime’ (1603). While charting and enacting the arguments of these poets, Shelley diversifies his experiments with the invisible and unseen. He explores the idea of a poem’s susceptibility to power over or subjection to its own expressive repertoire and ideas.","PeriodicalId":134914,"journal":{"name":"Shelley's Broken World","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114383130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Alastor, Shelley first outlines and enacts his conception of what he terms therein ‘intermitted song’ — a type of poetry capable of articulating the idea of thought as substance, and the value of intermediate modes of being. In Alastor such intermediate states are to be celebrated as the most intense form of living; in pauses we are truly said to live.","PeriodicalId":134914,"journal":{"name":"Shelley's Broken World","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126238942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
