Positioned within an ecocritical framework, this research explores how Wordsworth\u2019s representations of nature challenge anthropocentric attitudes and propose a symbiotic relationship between human beings and the natural world. In English literature, writers from different eras, especially those of the Romantic era, have given special focus to mankind\u2019s relationship with nature in their writing. While the picturesque tradition often emphasized nature as an object of visual delight, Wordsworth reconfigures it as a moral, spiritual, and pedagogical force.\u00a0 Through an ecocritical approach, the concentration of this paper will be on William Wordsworth\u2019s belief regarding nature as a possible solution to the current environmental problems and natural calamities. Through close readings of selected poems, this paper analyzes how Wordsworth anticipates modern concerns about ecological crisis, industrialization, and alienation from nature. By bridging literature and environmental ethics, this study argues that Wordsworth\u2019s vision offers a proto-environmentalist blueprint for rethinking humanity\u2019s role within ecological systems, making his work deeply relevant to contemporary debates on climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":265,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"article-category":[46,40,47],"class_list":["post-297","journal","type-journal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article-category-current-issues","article-category-praxis","article-category-volume-15-december-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/journal"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":299,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/297\/revisions\/299"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-category?post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
