The Concept of Nature in Nineteenth Century English Poetry by Joseph Warren Beach is a comprehensive study of the relationship between nature and poetry in the 19th century. The book examines the various ways in which nature was represented in English poetry during this period, and how these representations reflected the changing attitudes towards nature and the environment.The book begins with an overview of the Romantic poets and their emphasis on the beauty and power of nature. It then moves on to the Victorian era, where nature was often seen as a source of moral instruction and spiritual renewal. The book also explores the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on poetry, and how poets responded to the growing awareness of the fragility and interconnectedness of the natural world.Throughout the book, Beach analyzes the works of a wide range of poets, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Tennyson, Browning, and Hopkins. He also considers the influence of other cultural and social factors on the representation of nature in poetry, such as the rise of industrialization and the growing awareness of environmental degradation.Overall, The Concept of Nature in Nineteenth Century English Poetry provides a fascinating insight into the ways in which poets engaged with the natural world during a period of significant social, cultural, and environmental change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
