This course will look at the way poets have responded to the environment, from the early Romantic period to the present day. In the process, it will study and show how the role of the natural world in poetry has changed from being a cause for celebration and a mirror for self-scrutiny, into a way of continuing these things while also expressing anxiety about the effects of global warming any other dangers to the health of the planet. Poets included in the discussion will include Wordsworth, Clare, Hopkins, Frost, Auden, Hughes and Heaney.
