7. •Wordsworth was a great innovator.
•He found his greatest inspiration in nature.
•His main interest is the poet’s response to a
natural object.
•One of the most consistent concepts in his poetry is
the idea that man and nature are inseparable.
8. Wordsworth’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. 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.
