Abstract:The Romantic era marked a significant shift in literary focus, with nature emerging as a central theme in poetry. This paper explores the role of nature in the works of two leading figures of Romantic poetry: William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Through an analysis of their poetic expressions, this study highlights how nature serves not only as a backdrop for their themes but also as a catalyst for emotional and spiritual awakening. Wordsworth’s reverence for nature and Coleridge’s imaginative engagement with it reveal distinct yet complementary perspectives that have profoundly influenced the literary canon.
Keywords:Romantic Poetry, Nature, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Emotional Awakening
