| description |
When William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge – the Lake school – formulated their earliest descriptions
of the role of the poet, two models of vocational identity
exerted special pressure on their thinking. One was the idea of the
professional gentleman. In their association of literary composition
with socially useful action, their conviction that the judgment
of the poet should control the literary marketplace, and their
efforts to correlate personal status with the poet’s special training,
the Lake writers modified a progressive version of intellectual
labor that was linked, if sometimes problematically, to developments
in the established professions of medicine, church, and law.
In short, they attempted to write poetry as though writing poetry
could duplicate the functions of the professions. The other model,
and it is related to the first, is literary. Like the Lake poets, earlier
eighteenth-century authors had been stimulated, if occasionally
frustrated, by the puzzle of how to write poetry in the face of
changing conceptions of intellectual work. |
