The concept of nature according to William Wordsworth?

Answer 1

He lived his life in nature as he born where field was near so he used to go there and write poems on nature.And people loved his poems about nature so they start calling him Poet of Nature.And he used to thought deeply about nature which people loved it so that was also the reason of calling him poet of nature.

Answer 2

Poems on Nature were a rarity in William Wordsworth's time in England. Almost all wrote about Kings, Knights, Heroes and their mighty deeds. A few were called Cockneys who wrote about the life in cities, especially in London. Even Wordsworth was one among them once. But his Solitary Reaper changed things. It was a pure poem of feelings and emotions evolving from man's attachment to the mother earth. There was no chivalry in a solitary reaper standing on a field in a lone mountain valley reaping and singing by herself, but by it's beauty of images, perfection of presentation and richness in musical content, it pleased people and there was demand for more which the poet promptly satisfied. Whether he liked it or not, he began to be considered the Nature poet. It is true, many of his Nature songs are superb, particularly Resolution And Independence, also titled The Leech-Gatherer.

Answer 3

William Wordsworth believed that nature was a source of spiritual and moral renewal, and that it had a profound impact on the human psyche. He saw nature as a teacher, guiding individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Wordsworth's poetry often celebrated the beauty and tranquility of the natural world, emphasizing its ability to inspire and uplift the human spirit.

Answer 4

Wordsworth is often called a Nature poet - because he likes to write about nature (forests, hills, lakes). Many poets prefer to write about cities.

I don't think he would be called a 'naturalist' poet. A naturalist is someone who likes to make scientific studies of plants and animals.

Add on..

Wordsworth is ultimately a Romantic poet; however, being a romantic poet, he is also extremely fascinated by the phenomena of nature. In contemplating nature he would achieve a greater understanding and appreciation of it, whilst also coming to understand his own psyche (look up projective imagination if you want to go further into that). Naturalism is much like realism to Romantic landscape artists of the time (ie. John Constable - who was extremely fond of Wordsworth's work)...realism requires a direct imitation of reality (what is "geographically/ topographically natural") while naturalism involves Nature (the interrelationships among phenomena and the implications of such design, plus mans place in nature). Both involve the empirical observation and contemplation of plants, animal/ human life, clouds, light, water, land, etc.. Realism is just more scientifically guided (objective) while naturalism (also scientifically guided) is aimed at being more spiritual (subjective).

You can argue that he is a naturalist poet in that sense then, but don't ignore the fact that his naturalism stems from his romantic tendencies.

Answer 5

Nature was William Wordsworth's favourite subject for poetry. That is why he is called 'the' Nature poet. He produced Nature poems in such abundance that a reader will be lost among them. Not all of them are superior. As a fact, some famous critics have commented that the pathway to his superior poems are obscure due to their being surrounded by forests of inferior poems.

wordworth believes in pantheism.
