Neoclassical and Romantic verse cultures are often assumed to sit
in an oppositional relationship to one another, with the latter
amounting to a hostile reaction against the former. But there are
in fact a good deal of continuities between the two movements, ones
that strike at the heart of the evolution of verse forms in the
period. This Element proposes that the mid-eighteenth-century poet
Mark Akenside, and his hugely influential Pleasures of Imagination,
represent a case study in the deep connections between
Neoclassicism and Romanticism. Akenside's poem offers a vital
illustration of how verse was a rival to philosophy in the period,
offering a new perspective on philosophic problems of appearance,
or how the world 'seems to be'. What results from this is a poetic
form of knowing: one that foregrounds feeling over fact, that
connects Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and that Akenside called
the imagination's 'pleasures'.
