LiveLesson 2/12 Exit Ticket: One of the major ideas of the Romantic Period was the importance of nature over made-made things or the country over the city. Give an example of how this was shown through one of the poems we looked at today with an explanation.
One example of this idea being shown in a poem we looked at today is in William Wordsworth's "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey." In this poem, Wordsworth describes the beauty and tranquility of the natural landscape surrounding the Tintern Abbey, emphasizing the importance of nature in finding solace and peace. He contrasts the noisy and bustling city life with the quiet and serene countryside, ultimately highlighting the restorative power of nature. This exemplifies the Romantic belief in the superiority of nature over man-made creations and the rejuvenating effects of being in natural surroundings.
