Abstract

Her ne kadar İngiliz Edebiyatında Romantik dönemin en önemli altı şairinden biri olan Samuel Taylor Coleridge’ın radikal düşünceleri ve 18. yüzyıl İngiliz toplumunun şekillenmesi üzerindeki etkileri sıklıkla tartışılmış olsa da, onun sıra dışı fikirlerini inşa ettiği zemin ve benimsediği temel öğeler araştırmacıların ilgisini pek çekmemiştir. Coleridge’ın Bristol’daki marjinal gruplar ile olan ilişkisine dair bazı çalışmalar bizleri aydınlatsa da, dahi bir aklın zihinsel gelişimine dair söylenecek daha fazla şey olduğu açıktır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma Coleridge’ın pantisocracy, Üniteryenizm ve siyasi radikalizm gibi ana fikirlerinin nasıl oluştuğu, onu bu tür radikal fikirleri edinmeye nelerin sevk ettiği ve Bristol’daki muhalif topluluğun Coleridge’ın zihinsel gelişimini tamamlamasında ne tür bir rol oynadığı gibi araştırma sorularına cevap vermeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, mevcut çalışma ilk olarak Coleridge’ın radikal kişiliğinin ve fikirlerinin oluşmasına neden olan dönüm noktalarına vurgu yaparak, onun hayatındaki önemli kilometre taşlarına atıfta bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada, İngiliz Romantik dönemi üzerinde derin bir etki bırakan bu şiir dehasının sosyal, dini ve siyasi düşünceleri de ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele alınmaktadır.

Coleridgean Radicalism and the South West Circle

Abstract

Although radical thoughts of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the “Big Six” pioneers of Romantic era in British Literature and his effects over the refinement of the eighteen-century English society have been widely discussed, not much attention has been drawn into the underlying backdrop and principal grounds that he founded his anomalous ideas on. Even though some critical studies shed some light on his relationships with the marginal communities in Bristol, there is still much to say about the intellectual development of a genius mind. In this respect, this paper aims to address how Coleridge’s main ideas such as pantisocracy, Unitarianism and political radicalism were shaped, what drove him to adopt such radical opinions, and what role the Dissenting circle in Bristol played in shaping Coleridge’s intellectual mind. To do so, the present study first presents a brief introduction to Coleridge’s biography, focusing on significant turning points that shaped his radical personality and thoughts. Then, the study examines the social, theological and political thoughts of this genius poet who had a great influence on British Romanticism.
