The landscape as character: Geographic settings in British romantic poetry

Author(s):

Sushila Meena and Sanjay Kumar Mandawat

Abstract:
This paper explores the role of geographic landscapes in British Romantic poetry, examining how natural settings function as dynamic characters that shape the emotional, philosophical, and narrative dimensions of the works. Focusing on poets such as William Wordsworth, Charlotte Smith, and Robert Browning, the study analyses how landscapes like the Lake District, the South Downs, and the English countryside are not merely backdrops but active participants in the poetic experience. Through close readings of selected poems, the paper demonstrates how these natural environments embody memory, identity, and transcendence, reflecting the Romantic ideal of nature as a living, expressive force.
