• Mudasir Ahmed

Abstract

AbstractThis paper examines the literary and thematic connections between two central figures of Romantic poetry, William Wordsworth and John Keats. By analysing their approaches to nature, imagination, and the sublime, the study highlights shared ideals, philosophical divergences, and the influence of Wordsworth on Keats. Despite their differences in temperament and poetic style, Wordsworth's meditative tone and Keats's sensual imagery reveal a shared commitment to exploring the human spirit and its relationship with the natural world.Keywords: Romantic poetry, William Wordsworth, John Keats, natural world.
