Beschreibung:
Richard Adelman is a lifelong resident of Philadelphia. He taught English, computer applications, and filmmaking in public high schools there for thirty-seven years. Besides teaching, Richard worked for many years in the Philadelphia area as a wedding photographer and in Atlantic City as a bartender and restaurant manager. He is previously unpublished. Retired now, he has been spending his literary efforts trying to learn enough French to read the classics. He has two grandchildren.
This study traces the ways in which Romantic writers responded to a debate over the dangers and rewards of idle contemplation.
Introduction; 1. The division of labour; 2. Utilitarian education and aesthetic education; 3. Cowper, Coleridge and Wollstonecraft; 4. Coleridge's pantisocracy, biographia and church and state; Conclusion; Epilogue: Wordsworth and Kingsley.
