ماهية الشعر و الخيال عند شيلي

Abstract EN

It is frequently found that many poets poetize and versify poetry.

They almost create their own world of images and fantasies.

They often remain absorbed inside the things they imagine.

But it is rare to find any of them has been converted from a mere poet to an intellectual poet.

P.B.

Shelley (1792 - 1822) is no doubt one of those examples of poets that can be described as intellectual poets.

Not only had those poets poetized or versified poetry, but they also contemplated the essence of poetry.

Poetry alone can reveal and illuminate the hidden powers in our spiritual and mental lives.

Together with poetry, imagination can create our world.

Consequently, poetry for Shelly is not a mere imitation of reality or a faint image of the natural motif, but it is rather an innovation and invention of the natural motifs.

It also reveals the inner spirit hidden inside these motifs.

Poetry dominates a world, or it is rather a new world, in which the poetic image invites us to live in a way of openness to our real human world and to the natural motifs, that are presented as innovative new creations, as if they have not been seen before.

In this study, the researcher will depend on the analytical-critical method in order to analyze the concepts and problems included in the research issue for Shelley.

She also will depend on analyzing his texts trying to make a critical reading of them and not merely exposing the ideas.
