Abstract

In 1798, at the age of 28, Wordsworth claimed that he had long been a 'worshipper of Nature'. For many readers he became, and for some is still, its high priest. There was nothing new at that time in writing poems about nature; but, as Jonathan Bate has shown, there was something very new in the way Wordsworth wrote about it. He rejected the appropriation of nature into the realm of the aesthetic, the reduction of it to the merely picturesque. He transformed our experience of Nature into a religious experience. Moreover, he communicated that experience in terms which are strikingly in accord with our current language of deep ecology, of holistic thinking and biocentric consciousness.
