Abstract This research paper delves into the significance of nature in Romantic poetry, focusing on the works of five major poets: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Nature, during the Romantic period, was far more than mere scenery; it served as an active participant within the literary discourse, influencing themes of spirituality, morality, human emotions, societal change, and the transient nature of life. While each poet appreciated the profound influence of nature, their interpretations and uses of nature within their works varied significantly. Wordsworth often viewed nature as a nurturing force and moral guide; Coleridge used it as a lens for exploring the human imagination; Byron employed nature as a critical lens to reflect human imperfections; Shelley saw nature as an instigator of intellectual thought and societal change; and Keats reveled in nature's sensual and aesthetic richness. The paper concludes by emphasizing the integral role nature played in shaping the literary and philosophical landscape of the Romantic period, reinforcing its enduring relevance in understanding the relationship between humans and the natural world.
