Write an essay in which you explore Wordsworth’s vision of nature expressed in the works we studied. Pay special attention to “Tintern Abbey”. How does his poetry promote a specific understanding of nature that has since become a kind of “common sense” notion that we simply assume is correct? What does he claim are the potential benefits of time spent “in” so-called nature? How do poems such as “Nutting” warn us about the problems with how we treat this nature? How are the problems illustrated by “Nutting” capable of being understood as the consequence of the more positive conception presented in “Tintern Abbey”?
