| Rezumat: | Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) and William Wordsworth (1770-1850) belong to two different sects. The former is a Transcendentalist or a member of American Romanticism with its unifying account of self and nature, and the latter is an English Romantic poet belonging to a group of poets called the “lake School [or] the lakers” (Ruston, 2007: p. 90-91) who were involved in the appreciation of and dissolution in their natural surroundings. Despite the fact that these two figures have much in common, there are points and junctures where they diverge in their perspectives towards the essential grounds of their parallel philosophies. Through having a look at Thoreau's Walden and Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, this paper would attempt to present a broad account of the major aspects in which their literary ideas and points of views approach or diverge in regards to nature and imagination. |
