For our project, we analyzed Barbauld's "On the Plasure Derived from Objects of Terror" and the Gothic poem "Sonnet on Being Cautioned against Walking on a Headland." To begin, we created a timeline post for the year that Barbauld published her essay. Included with the year that Barbauld published her essay, was a brief discussion on the essay and Barbauld's reasons for arguing for the pleasure we feel from hearing and reading terrifying stories. Additionally, we created a timeline spot for The Reform Act. The Reform Act was included to emphasize how the Romantics period largely focused on freedom from authority and tradition. The Reform Act led to several English boroughs losing their representation, the creation of new English boroughs, and an increase in the total electorate. This worked to provide the new middle class the freedom to share in the responsibility of the government, which alleviated political tension. To further assist in the appreciation of the terrifying, we created a gallery post for Barbauld's essay. Barbauld’s argument that people find pleasure and beauty in images of terror, is seen in the “In Sickness and Beauty” by Evelyn Bencicova. Evelyn’s image enhances this idea with its unpleasant first glance. However, it proves Barbauld right, because the deeper you go into this piece of art, the more beauty you are able to see. Finally, we created a gallery post discussion the sonnet by Charlotte Smith. The Sonnet “On Being Cautioned Against Walking on a Headland Overlooking the Sea, because it was Frequented by a Lunatic, by Charlotte Smith provides an example of how gothic elements were being used in various forms of literature such as the sonnet. Smith’s sonnet explores the frightening and curious elements of a lady viewing a lunatic, and proves to be an example of how Barbauld’s ideas in “On the Pleasure Derived from Objects of Terror,” are carried out within the sonnet. Smith does use some words that need defining. She uses 'wretch' in her poem, which means an unfortunate or unhappy person. She also uses the word 'felicity,' which means the ability to find appropriate expression for one's thoughts.
