The exploration of Romanticism is examined through the theme of the sea, with a particular focus on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Auden employs a Christian existentialist perspective to analyze the tendency of Romantic writers to escape from responsibility and community. Drawing from diverse sources, including the Bible and Baudelaire, the work delves into the complexities of human nature and the philosophical implications of seeking freedom in isolation.
