Volume : II, Issue : XI, December - 2012 RE-READING ECO-CRITICAL THEMES IN ROMANTICISM WITH REFERENCE TO WILLIAM WORDSWRTH'S TINTERN ABBEY KAMRUNNESSA KHATUN DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In this interdisciplinary approach of eco-criticism (dealing with literature in
relation to ecological or environmental study) attention is drawn to the causes of the
environmental degradation and possible way out is discerned in the Romantic Movement
with reference to the classic romantic poem, Tintern Abbey .As we have seen, since time
immemorial there was a perennial bond between man and environment or nature. But
that eternal bond was shattered with the progress and development of science and
technology since the advent of Enlightenment that focused on the development of human
beings at the expense of environment and its others. As a consequence, the ecological
balance was shattered. One of the main reactions can be found in the Romantic
Movement to this mindless and senseless destruction of nature. In Tintern Abbey, by
William Wordsworth, the high-priest of the Romantic Movement much eco- friendly
concern can be discerned. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KAMRUNNESSA KHATUN, (2012). RE-READING ECO-CRITICAL THEMES IN ROMANTICISM WITH REFERENCE TO WILLIAM WORDSWRTH'S TINTERN ABBEY.
