Rajeev Ranjan, Asst Professor (English), LNT College, Muzaffarpur  \nTDC/PART-I/ENGLISH(Hons) Paper-I William Wordsworth (1770–1850)  \nWilliam Wordsworth as a Poet of Nature  \nAs a poet of Nature, Wordsworth stands supreme. He is a worshipper of Nature, Nature’s devotee or high-priest. His love of Nature was probably truer, and more tender, than that of any other English poet, before or since. Nature comes to occupy in his poem a separate or independent status and is not treated in a casual or passing manner as by poets before him. Wordsworth had a full-fledged philosophy, a new and original view of Nature.  \nWordsworth believed that we can learn more of man and of moral evil and good from Nature than from all the philosophies. In his eyes,“Nature is a teacher whose wisdom we can learn, and without which any human life is vain and incomplete.” He believed in the education of man by Nature. In this he was somewhat influenced by Rousseau. This inter-relation of Nature and man is very important in considering Wordsworth’s view of both.  \nCazamian, a noted critic, says that “To Wordsworth, Nature appears as a formative influence superior to any other, the educator of senses and mind alike, the sower in our hearts ofthe deep-laden seeds of our feelings and beliefs. It speaks to the child in the fleeting emotions of early years, and stirs the young poet to an ecstasy, the glow of which illuminates all his work and dies of his life.”  \nThree points in his creed of Nature may be noted:  \n(a) He conceived of Nature as a living Personality. He believed that thereis a divine spirit pervading all the objects of Nature. This belief in a divine spirit pervading all the objects of Nature may be termed as mystical Pantheism and is fully expressed in Tintern Abbey and in several passages in Book II of The Prelude.  \n(b) Wordsworth believed that the company of Nature gives joy to the human heart and he looked upon Nature as exercising a healing influence on sorrow-stricken hearts.  \n(c) Above all, Wordsworth emphasized the moral influence of Nature. He spiritualised Nature and regarded her as a great moral teacher, as the best mother, guardian and nurse of man, and as an elevating influence. He believed that between man and Nature there is mutual consciousness, spiritual communion or ‘mystic intercourse’. He initiates his readers into the secret of the soul’s communion with Nature. According to him, human beings who grow up in the lap of Nature are perfect in every respect.  \nWordsworth’s attitude to Nature can be clearly differentiated from that of the other great poets of Nature. He did not prefer the wild and stormy aspects of Nature like Byron, or the shifting and changeful aspects of Nature and the scenery of the sea and sky like Shelley, or the purely sensuous in Nature like Keats. It was his special characteristic to concern himself, not with the strange and remote aspects of the earth, and sky, but Nature in her ordinary, familiar, everyday moods. He did not recognize the ugly side of Nature ‘red in tooth and claw’ as Tennyson did. Wordsworth stressed upon the moral influence of Nature and the need of man’s spiritual discourse with her.","cbCaiaRObeSjtMcR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaRObeSjtMcR","pdf",103395,"English","# William Wordsworth as a Poet of Nature\n## Nature as an independent, formative status\n## Nature, man, and moral evil/good\n## Three points in his creed of Nature\n## Nature’s joy and healing influence\n## Moral influence and mystic intercourse\n## Comparison with other nature poets","[{\"question\":\"Why is Nature central to Wordsworth’s poetry?\",\"answer\":\"Nature occupies an independent status in his poems and is presented as a teacher and formative influence rather than a passing subject.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Wordsworth’s view of the relationship between Nature and humans?\",\"answer\":\"He believed Nature educates and influences human moral life, involving mutual awareness and spiritual communion—described as “mystic intercourse.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does Wordsworth’s attitude to Nature differ from other nature poets?\",\"answer\":\"He preferred ordinary, everyday moods of Nature and emphasized moral and spiritual discourse, unlike poets such as Byron, Shelley, Keats, or Tennyson who focus on wildness, changeful scenery, purely sensuous nature, or ugliness.\"}]","William Wordsworth (1770-1850) - William Wordsworth as a Poet of Nature - Nature, Man and Moral Influence | PDF",1789949839]
