The Connected Condition
The Romantic poet's intense yearning to share thoughts and feelings often finds expression in a style that thwarts a connection with readers. Data collection, rampant connectivity, and efficient communication became powerful social norms during this period. Yohei Igarashi addresses this paradox by reimagining Romantic poetry as a response to the beginnings of the information age.
Igarashi considers Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a stenographer, William Wordsworth as a bureaucrat, Percy Shelley amid social networks, and John Keats in relation to telegraphy, revealing a shared attraction The Connected Condition argues that poets responded to these developments by probing the underlying fantasy: the perfect transfer of thoughts, feelings, and information, along with media that might make such communication possible.This book radically reframes major poets and canonical poems.
