William Wordsworth's Poem"Tinten Abbey"andS.T. Coleridge's Poem"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner": A Study in Ecocriticism

Abstract

William Wordsworth's poem “Tintern Abbey”andS.T. Coleridge's poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” reflect the world of nature as an organic whole, and interconnect the body nature with the body text. There is a kind of ethical and bio-centric vision of nature connecting landmarks with text marks,thereby making a kind of interplay between all the ingredients of nature so as to oppose utilitarian value of nature that has caused modern environmental degradation. The communion and interconnection between man and nature are enhanced by locating humanbeings as a part of sanctified world of nature. Their poems are eco-effects as they are composed by the inspiration of ecology with ecological awareness.
