The Still, Sad Music of Humanity in Doom Metal's Romanticizing Machine
[...]Ī argue that in doom metal this happens in order to allow for the emergence of a musical (mental, affective) image which entails a second order temporality.the temporality of such an image itself. [...]the temporal drive is not simply diminished but belongs to a different order that is directly related to the poetic text and its implications. The meaning is also intensified and philosophically inflected by the preceding lines that contain the phrase \"feminine doom.\" [...]acoustically, sexuality and death are shown to be inseparably related, morphing into one another-a sound event no less powerful than Scotty's spiralling into the grave in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). [...]imperfection is an essential part of his vocal performance: a breaking voice at certain lines or words is necessary for extracting a maximum amount of affective intensity. Since My Dying Bride's primary instrumentation producing their characteristic heavy and gloomy signature sound is created by using electric guitars, drums, percussions, and, occasionally, a violin, such instruments as an organ employed sparingly in very few compositions or sections gains an imagistic rather than melodic role.

All the Rage: Wordsworth's Attack on Byron in Lines Addressed to a Noble Lord
Though frequently derided in the works of Lord Byron, William Wordsworth never wrote a harsh word against him aside from the anonymously published \"Lines Addressed to a Noble Lord.\" Through looking at the biographical context as well as analyzing the poem itself, the poem comes off as a reflection of Wordsworth's most deeply felt anxieties of success and recognition.

Simms, Wordsworth, and \The Mysterious Teachings of the Natural World\
One significant theme that William Gilmore Simms shares primarily with William Wordsworth is the power of nature not only to tech and nurture the soul, but also to restore it from the enervating effects of industrialism, materialism, and utilitarianism. Like Wordsworth, Simms shows that nature's mysterious teachings heal and nurture the soul by evoking a sublime connection to all living things, a sense of the world most fully felt in childhood.

Wordsworth and Coleridge and \The Ancient Mariner\
The genesis of Lyrical Ballads with a Few Other Poems, 1798, is one of the more fascinating and puzzling events of literary history. Much of the fascination exists in the personalities of the writers and their relationship. The year during which their poems were jointly planned then published, roughly from mid 1797 to mid 1798, is often seen as an annus mirabilis, when an intense unanimity and sympathy existed between them-- a sympathy the more marked because of their later disagreements.

Hazlitt & Wordsworth: the language of poetry
Art critic William Hazlitt and poet William Wordsworth, contemporaries within England's first Romantic generation, are profiled. Wordsworth's poetry and Hazlitt's subsequent criticism are analyzed. \"Hazlitt praised and damned roundly, without mincing matters. When his judgment was mixed, as with Wordsworth, that mixture, bluntly declared with no neat balance drawn as between merits and demerits which the reader could pocket and carry away with him, seemed puzzling...Hazlitt's larger appreciation of Wordsworth allows him elevation, but it is the elevation of an unassuming modern muse looking down from the heights of reflection to the earth which is her footstool and her home. He put the matter most succinctly when he said that Wordsworth trampled on the pride of art with greater pride. The greater pride of Wordsworth's muse was to spurn the traditional pride of art of poetry: its tragic splendor, social breadth, crowded dramatis personae, high rhetorical eloquence, reverence, ceremony.\" (NEW CRITERION)

A Brief Psychoanalytic Note on Wordsworth, Poetic Creativity, and Love
There is always a relationship between the life and the work of an artist. Psychic conflict and pathology may supply the motivation and the subject matter for fiction and poetry, but they are not the source of the creative power that fashions the work of art or literature. Shengold discusses the life and works of poet William Wordsworth in psychoanalytic perspective.
