Music\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relevance to various romantic cultures, as well as its many tropes and topoi, mirrors a conceptual versatility that poets found abundantly instrumental when sitting down (or walking along) to contemplate the relation of self and craft, craft and culture, and, above all, sound and print. Through the remediating apparatus of print, the romantic poets (chiefly Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake and Keats) imagined deeply nuanced systems of relation through the sign and cultural practice music, and often through conceptual oppositions that silent, printed fictions facilitate: between musical song and the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153music\u00e2\u20ac  that emanates from the poet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voice; between the sociability of cultural music and the isolated pursuit of self-presence via natural music; between the mere hearing of exterior sounds (i.e. phenomena) and the choice to interpret or not interpret those sounds as music (by the imagination of the culturally savvy yet nature-seeking subject); and between the fading genre of musical \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lyrics\u00e2\u20ac  and the lyricism that was theirs to define. Considering "music" from these multiple vantages forces us to read well-worn poems differently, deepening and complicating an array of familiar critical narratives\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsuch as the importance of musical lyricism in Wordsworth's attempt to station himself in a line of prophetic poets after Milton, or the role cultural music plays in Keats's turning away from the chummy sociability of the Cockneys to effect his own becoming as poet. Ultimately, I argue that by understanding how and why poets wrote \u00e2\u20ac\u0153music\u00e2\u20ac  into the printed medium of romantic poetry, we further grasp romanticism\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deep investment in the relation between actual music and the oral and aural fictions of poems themselves\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe \u00e2\u20ac\u0153unheard melodies\u00e2\u20ac \u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhich, in turn, enlarges the way we can understand the relation of romantic poetry to various contemporary cultures."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:50Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Phillips, Rowan R"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Gilbert, Matthew J."},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:50Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:50Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of English"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"222 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77505"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2016-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:50Z (GMT).
