The Angle

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"The sky was a dark and gloomy gray; I expected the rain to start falling at any moment. I stared at my father's unmoving body, draped in his best suit. His face bore the same unhappy look that I had always been accustomed to. I had always felt that my father would rather be dead, because he never really seemed to enjoy life."

The Angle

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"I had to have those shoes. Every morning I saw them in the window as I walked to school, and every morning they sparkled and winked at me. They sat there shining on their shimmering white silk bed right between the rhinestone tiara and the coordinating bag with rhinestone trim. The bag and tiara I could survive without, but I had to have those shoes."

Romantic Agonies: Human Suffering And The Ethical Sublime, Terryl Givens, Anthony P. Russell

English Faculty Publications

This essay examines two poems depicting human anguish in order to explore a current in Romantic thought that implicitly yields some original and compelling insights regarding the problematic relationship between art and suffering. The focus is primarily on Wordsworth's narrative of Margaret's suffering in The Excursion, then more briefly on Shelley's Prometheus Unbound. In both cases Kant's ideas about the sublime provide us with a useful perspective from which to understand the issues these poems raise.
