A closer examination of Kubla Khan reveals striking parallels with Persian
poetry. The poem’s imagery of the "sacred river" and the "sunny pleasure-dome"
echoes the Persian poetic tradition of using natural elements as symbols of divine
beauty [5]. Coleridge’s emphasis on the creative process and the fleeting nature of
inspiration mirrors the Sufi concept of ishq (divine love) as a transformative force.
The influence of Eastern literature on English Romanticism was profound,
contributing to its themes, narrative structures, and philosophical depth. By
incorporating Eastern mysticism, narrative complexity, and symbolic richness,
Romantic poets expanded their literary horizons and created works of enduring
beauty. Future research could explore further interdisciplinary connections between
Eastern philosophy and Western literary movements.
The role of Eastern literature in English Romanticism is a testament to the
power of cross-cultural exchange in shaping artistic and intellectual movements. By
integrating Eastern themes, styles, and philosophies, Romantic writers expanded the
horizons of their imagination and challenged the limitations of Western thought.
