Wordsworth and Malouf question (1 Viewer)

[vukasmilan]

I have an assesment question in a few days.

"Wordsworth views nature philosophically, Malouf does so psychologically. Do you agree?

Can someone please give me some ideas?

yes
malouf feels you need to immerse yourself in nature in order to connect with it. you can talk about those scenes were ovid becomes nature eg the pool of water or the moonlight. also maloufs portrayal of nature is more real than WW. "winter has been terrible beyond belief"... i think. more raw.
WW praised/admired nature. Observed it from a distance. never had to fully connect but admired people who immersed themselves ie in Tintern Abbey about the hermit. Can also relate it to context. WW came from the people who had higher social status in England therefore had money to go on tours to admire nature. He never had to fully immerse himself in nature.
