Item description from seller

Hardcover. Genial Perception offers a critical examination of Wordsworths and Coleridges naturalist construction of creative and critical perception, and a historical study of the perceptual dimension of poetic taste. Genial is the adjectival form of genius, and eighteenth-century critical naturalism understands genial perception as a gift of nature, as an inborn power operating autonomously through the senses and imagination and thus independently of cultural influence. By exploring the philology of keywords and binaries inherited by the two poet-critics and used to describe and interpret their perceptual experience, both creative (imaginative) and critical, Genial Perception traces how that experience reveals an unacknowledged indebtedness to discourse and language, having been silently and perhaps unconsciously shaped by patterns and trends in the literary culture in which Wordsworth and Coleridge came of age. This study shows that critical perception, often thought to be too elusive and subjective to make a proper subject for historical investigation, can be approached through study of the termsthe languageof the practical criticism that attempts to communicate it; that both critical and creative perception are far more dependent on language than is commonly recognized; and that philology, by recovering the original usage, functions, and contexts of critical keywords, provides for an accurate historical understanding of the claims made by critics in the long eighteenth century for genial perception, and can illuminate the dynamics of genial perception itself. Genial Perception offers a critical examination of Wordsworths and Coleridgesnaturalist construction of creative and critical perception, and a historical study of the perceptual dimension of poetic taste.
