The Meaning of Pantisocracy in Some of Coleridge’s Poems.

초록/요약

This paper is to examine some of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poems as to his utopia, Pantisocracy. In the late eighteenth century, Coleridge was interested in social movements like the anti-slavery movement, and devised a plan for an egalitarian community, Pantisocracy, with Southey because they objected to social contradiction, political dictatorship, and so on in England. Coleridge displays content, bliss, joy, freedom in Pantisocracy as well as woe, despair, anguish in England, in both “On the Prospect of Establishing a Pantisocracy in America” and “Pantisocracy. In “To a Young Ass,” he also blames the master of the donkey for not knowing pity; moreover, he calls the donkey his brother with egalitarian attitudes. In these works, Coleridge strongly wishes to reveal oppressive situations in England and hopes that every man enjoys their freedom and is treated equally as if he or she lives in Pantisocracy.
