Majestic indolence : English romantic poetry and the work of art / Willard Spiegelman. - New York : Oxford University Press, 1995. - 1 online resource (xii, 221 pages). - Oxford University Press on-line . - Oxford University Press on-line. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-212) and index.
"Majestic indolence": the progress of a Trope -- Wordsworth at work and play -- Coleridge and Dejection -- Keats's figures of indolence -- States of possession: Shelley's versions of pastoral -- Our American cousins -- Appendix A: Shelley's last lyrics -- Appendix B: the text of Coleridge's "Dejection: an ode, "
Spiegelman examines the theme of indolence-- both positive and negative--as it appears in the canonical work of four Romantic poets. He argues for a renewal of interest in literary formalism, aesthetics, and the pastoral genre. Wordsworth's "wise passiveness," Coleridge's "dejection" and torpor, Shelley's pastoral dolce far niente, and Keats's "delicious ... indolence" are seen as individual manifestations of a common theme. Spiegelman argues that the trope of indolence originated in the religious, philosophical, psychological, and economic discourses from the middle ages to the late eighteenth.
