Romantic Ecology (Routledge Revivals)

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the poetry of William Wordsworth, this work re-evaluates his contributions within the enduring pastoral tradition of English literature. Jonathan Bate challenges the notion that Wordsworth was a reactionary figure disconnected from the socioeconomic issues of his time, instead presenting him as a poet with fundamentally 'green' politics. The book delves into the intersection of poetry and environmental consciousness, offering a fresh perspective on Wordsworth's legacy and its relevance to contemporary ecological discussions.
