Answer:
movement in visual art and literature, flourishing in Europe between World Wars I and II. Surrealism grew principally out of the earlier Dada movement, which before World War I produced works of anti-art that deliberately defied reason; but Surrealism’s emphasis was not on negation but on positive expression. The movement represented a reaction against what its members saw as the destruction wrought by the “rationalism” that had guided European culture and politics in the past and that had culminated in the horrors of World War I. According to the major spokesman of the movement, the poet and critic André Breton, who published The Surrealist Manifesto in 1924, Surrealism was a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world in “an absolute reality, a surreality.” Drawing heavily on theories adapted from Sigmund Freud, Breton saw the unconscious as the wellspring of the imagination. He defined genius in terms of accessibility to this normally untapped realm, which, he believed, could be attained by poets and painters alike.
Answer:
10.20
Explanation:
[ 2 ( 3.50 - 0.80 + 2.40 ) ]
= [ 2 ( 3.50 + 2.40 - 0.80 ) ]
= [ 2 ( 5.90 - 0.80 ) ]
= [ 2 ( 5.10 ) ]
= 2 ( 5.10 )
= 10.20
Answer:
A lyrical ballad was a new type of poetry presented to the public in 1798 by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Although their first edition was published anonymously, later editions bore their names and were accompanied by a Preface, written by William Wordsworth, that explained the experiment in poetry that they hoped would become the norm. The Preface is a long document that has become a classic of literary criticism and even represented, according to The Norton Anthology of English Literature, a turning point in modern culture. It's hard to overstate the influence the lyrical ballad, as invented by Wordsworth and Coleridge, had on English literature. In terms we might understand, the lyrical ballad did for its day what the Beatles did for theirs--namely, start a new cultural movement.
To understand what a lyrical ballad is, one needs to understand what poetry was like prior to the introduction of this new poetic form. In the eighteenth century, poetry existed within a hierarchy. Epics and tragedies were at the pinnacle; comedy, satire, and pastoral poetry were in the middle; and short folksy ballads were at the bottom. Think about Paradise Lost at the top and the ballads collected by Robert Burns at the bottom. To be considered a poem of literary merit, a poem had to adhere to certain expectations: It used elevated diction; dealt with characters in the upper classes; and used elaborate figures of speech, such as excessive personification of abstract concepts. And example is Anna Letitia Barbauld's "A Summer Evening's Meditation" from 1772. Wordsworth and Coleridge broke with these conventions by using "incidents and situations from common life" and "language really used by men." In this they incorporated the Romantic tenets of appreciation of the common man and nature into their poetry.
By our standards, lyrical ballads are traditional verse. Wordsworth and Coleridge strongly believed in using "metrical arrangement," that is, consistent rhythm and meter, and most lyrical ballads have strong rhymes. The final requirement they used in their new category of poetry was that the poem must be composed in a "state of vivid sensation" and must seek to recreate that sensation in the reader. This reflects the Romantic tenet of strong emotions.
In summary, then, a lyrical ballad is traditional verse poetry that uses consistent rhythm and meter, rhyme, and the language of common speech to convey and arouse emotions while treating the topics of everyday life. It is poetry for the common person designed to impart pleasure while retaining a standard of literary quality. Examples of lyrical ballads from Wordsworth are "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," We Are Seven," and "The Tables Turned."
