The younger romantics inherited impressions of the ancient world colored by the previous century, in which classical studies experienced a resurgence, the emerging field of comparative mythography investigated the relationship between Christianity and its predecessors, and scientific and archaeological discoveries began to shed unprecedented light on the ancient world. The Shelley circle embraced a specifically pagan ancient world of excess, joy, and ecstatic experiences that test the boundaries between self and other. Though dubbed the “Satanic School” by Robert Southey, this circle instead thought of itself as “Athenian” and frequently employed mythology and imagery from the classical world that was characterized not by philosophy and reason butby wildness, excess, and ecstatic experiences. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Aesthetic; Religion; Classicism; Christian; Enlightenment; British and Irish Literature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54723-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-85463-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-54723-7Series ISSN 2946-3017 Series E-ISSN 2946-3025 | issn_series | 2946-3017 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
