CONCLUSION:
With all the information that we have collected I
can say that the Victorian poets and in concrete Tennyson use nature as a scene
to plot his poems. An example of this is “The Lady of Shalott”
in which we can observe some nature features but this is not the main theme in
the poem.
It is not the same case in the Pre-Raphaelist poets, because they have some romantic features
in their poetry. We can see Algernon Charles Swinburne that his main theme is
bleakness of nature. But in his poem “A Forsaken Garden” we can see other
themes, the human beings, the difficulties in life and the time.
The Pre-War Georgian poetry is typified as dreamy
and romantic, but the forgotten Georgians were who continued with
later-romantic vein of description of the countryside. Rupert Broke in his poem
“The Soldier” we can see a romantic, dreamy and patriotic poet. During the
course of his poem the author deals with two issues: death and love to his
native land.
The poetry in the Thirties is mainly about the
politic theme, it is very usual to read about themes of community, social
injustice and war. In the poet W. H. Auden, we see that his poems mainly have
the political topic, but in concrete in the poem “Funeral Blues” he is talking
about the end of a love affair.
And about the Forties we can say that Dylan Thomas,
a representative poet in this time, tries to find the child that in a time he
was, so he is trying to join this with the Nature because he loved childhood.
We can observe a line in which Nature is presented
in all time but in different ways, this is possible to see if we read a poem in
each time. Therefore, in my opinion Nature is the topic by excellence and by
this the Nature is present in each period.
