Abstract

 

This paper examines the thematic, emotional and philosophical dimensions of nature in Romantic poetry. Nature was not merely a backdrop in the poems of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats and Shelley but was a central force in their reflections on humanity, morality and cultural change. It deals with key themes in Romantic poetry, notably the sublime, nature as a refuge, its fleeting beauty and its revolutionary potential. While Wordsworth portrayed nature as a spiritual and moral guide, Coleridge picked up on its mysterious and awe-inspiring qualities. Keats celebrates the momentary beauty of natural moments; Shelley speaks of nature as a symbol of revolution and renewal. Presenting a multifaceted vision of nature, this critique of industrialization and Enlightenment rationalism insisted on the value of imagination and emotion. The findings underline the enduring legacy of Romantic poetry and the potential relevance it retains for contemporary ecological and philosophical debates about how human beings relate to nature.
