The colour of words : crafting links between romantic poets and painters

'The colour of words: crafting links between romantic poets and painters' aims at establishing a link between English Romantic poetry and painting. Most of the attempts to find this connection have concentrated on the themes and topics shared both by painters and poets. However, this work aims to focus not only on the aesthetic philosophy but also on the similarities in artistic techniques that enabled the particular expression of an artistic vision, the Romantic Movement. For this purpose, poems and paintings have been analyzed by comparing their formal aspects.This research has focused on Wordsworth, Constable, Lord Byron, Turner and Blake as cases of study.'The colour of words: crafting links between romantic poets and painters' té com a objectiu establir un vincle entre la poesia romàntica anglesa i la pintura. La majoria dels intents per trobar aquesta connexió s'han concentrat en els temes compartits tant pels pintors com pels poetes. No obstant això, l'objectiu d'aquest treball es concentrar-se no només en la filosofia estètica, sinó també en las similituds en les tècniques artístiques que van fer possible l'expressió particular d'una visió artística, el moviment Romàntic. Per això, poemes i pintures han estat analitzats mitjançant la comparació del seus aspectes formals. Aquesta recerca s'ha centrat en Wordsworth, Constable, Lord Byron, Turner i Blake com a casos d'estudi

Romantic without borders : tracing emotional intensity in Helen Maria Williams' 'Julia' (1790) and 'A tour in Switzerland' (1798)

The work of Helen Maria Williams (1761-1827) was widely read by her contemporaries. However, compared to other writers of the same period, her texts have received less critical attention at the present time. She has essentially been regarded as an author of Sensibility in the last three decades of feminist scholarship. Her Letters written in France (1790) record political events and commentary on the French Revolution and have placed Williams in a tradition of radical politics. This dissertation interrogates two of Williams' works that have received scant critical attention: her only novel Julia (1790) and her travelogue Tour in Switzerland (1798). I am interested in identifying the fluctuations in the representation of intense emotions, which I contend is a characteristic of Helen Maria Williams' style. For this purpose, I have focused on Williams' use of the feminine voice, especially in Julia, the description of the perception of nature, and the representation of the experience of the Sublime
