Concept of Nature Re-embraced

The concept of nature was being re-embraced at this time in the late eighteenth and into the nineteenth century. It was no longer seen as evil and ugly. Writers were now describing nature as a part of humans and that there was beauty in nature. This was a collective way of thinking or synthetic vision. All things were considered.  This type of new poetry was less artificial and written in everyday language so that it would broaden the reading audience.  There was a noticeable change in moving away from the prior more difficult language in poems. Being connected with nature also implied religious beliefs as one would go to nature to experience god. Wordsworth refers to the woods having a spirit. Much like the rest of Wordsworth’s texts he provides insight into sadness and joy, using his own feelings as a model. I felt that Wordsworth's use of language seemed much more laxed when compared to Gilpin. In my opinion it is more fluent to read Wordsworth because there is no restriction of formality as there is in Gilpin's text. I felt that Gilpin nip picked at nature and assigned certain landscape characteristics value at his own discretion and distaste to others.
