In his 1924 essay, Arthur Lovejoy talks about the discriminations of approach within “romanticism” and prefers to use the term in the plural. Two important Romantic poets, Worth and Shelley, wrote poems on the same topic, for example the flight of a lark, but based it on two different dynamics of thought that offer individuality to their poems. This article offers a comparative analysis of the two poems To a Skylark by Shelley and To the Skylark by Byworth in order to show the diversity and difference that "romanticism" offers. In "On the Discriminations of Romanticism" Arthur O. Lovejoy talks about the mistake of homogenizing the concept of Romanticism: “we should learn to use the word Romanticism in the plural… the discrimination of Romanticism that I have in mind is not exclusively or primarily a division on nationality or language lines. What is necessary is that any study on the subject begins with the recognition of a prima facie plurality of romanticisms, of possibly very distinct complexes of thought, some of which may appear in a country” (p. 235-36). For Lovejoy, discrimination is not only national or linguistic but in the plurality of thought complexes generated by the same socio-political-cultural-geographical space. The peculiarity of the dynamics of thought characterizing the works of the British Romantic poets of the late 18th and early 19th centuries demonstrates this position of Lovejoy in various ways. In this article, I will try to extend Lovejoy's proposal a little further and show how the two major Romantic poets, Worth and Shelly, embody two different complexes of thought in two of their poems which have almost the same title and address the same topic; that is, their distinguishing characteristics...... middle of paper......
