What is the difference between Shelly's criticism and Colreidge view
:
Percy By she Shelley, as one of the pioneers of English Romanticism, depicts many of the school’s principles in his poems; typical motifs and themes that keep recurring in typical Romantic texts include imagination, nature, inspiration, individualism, revolutionism, emotionality, and nostalgia. These elements, which are also common in the works of the founders of British Romanticism, laid the foundation of an unprecedented way of literary aesthetics in the last years of the eighteenth century.

Shelley wrote ‘A Defence of Poetry’ in 1821 in response to an essay written by his friend, Thomas Love Peacock. In ‘The Four Ages of Poetry’, Peacock – now best-remembered for novels like Nightmare Abbey – wittily argued that poetry was surplus to requirements in the modern age, because scientific and technological discoveries had rendered it unnecessary.

Shelley argues that poetry is mimetic: that is, it reflects the real world. In the early days of civilisation, men ‘imitate[d] natural objects’, observing the order and rhythm of these things, and from this impulse was poetry born. Reason and imagination are both important faculties in the poet.

Reason, he tells us, is logical thought, whereas imagination is perceiving things, and noticing the similarities between things.
Reason breaks the things into parts and analyses it.
Thus the reason is the principle of analysis.
On the other hand, imagination synthesizes the components. Since imagination is the principle of synthesis that can false contradictory forces.
Imagination has soothing power that pacifies the mind and the people become moral. It creates the best mind and the happiest moment so, peaceful mind is required to produce poetry.
For shelley the best mind and the happiest moment, produced by imagination are the ways to get the essence but Coleridge's imagination doesn't soothe the mind instead it is just a creative force.

Coleridge:- Biographia Literaria.
It is a critical work by Coleridge contained in 24 chapters.
It's concerned with the form of poetry, the genius of the poet and relationship to philosophy.

Coleridge focused mainly as imagination as the key to poetry. He divided it into two main components:- primary and secondary imagination.

For Coleridge imagination was responsible for the act that were truly creative and inventive.

Primary imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception. Primary is perceiving the impression of the outer world through the senses.

Secondary imagination is the poetic vision, the faculty that the poet has to idealize and unify. It is an echo of the former, co existing with the conscious will. It works upon the raw materials that are sensation and impressions supplied the primary imagination.
It is the secondary imagination which makes any artistic creation possible and root of all poetic activity. It is considered as shaping and modifying power.

Coleridge calls secondary imagination a magical power it fuses various faculties of human soul - will, emotions, intellect, perception. It fuses internal and external the subjective snd objective.

Can anyone explain difference between Affective and Intentional Fallacy?

Intentional fallacy is that we can't judge a poem with reference to poet's intention. Because we can't trace poet's intention, his thought process, while writing that particular poem. Whereas The affective fallacy is when we attempt to judge a poem through view of effect it has on reader.
[17/08, 11:57 am] +91 80813 56493: Affective fallacy is the error of evaluating a text by its effect.
It means the confusion between poem and it's results. It's a way of deriving meaning of the text interims of affect of product upon the readers.
It's a term used to refer to the supposed error of judging or evaluating a text on the basis of it's emotional effects on a reader.
Term coined by W K Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley in 1949.

Intentional fallacy
Refers to the error of evaluating a work by the intention of an author. It is based upon a rejection of the omniscience of an author over a text. It argues that an authors intention or design should not influence the reading of a text.
Intentional fallacy ( false idea that many believe is true) term used in 20th century literary criticism to describe the problem inherent in trying to judge a work of art by assuming the intent or purpose of the artist who created it.
