Abstract

Drawing on site visits around Helpston and in the Lake District, this article examines rewilding projects inspired by John Clare and William Wordsworth. It considers the contested meaning of "wildness" in a Romantic period defined by enclosure and intensified agricultural production, and it shows how ecocritical fieldwork—walking, observing, talking, and even protesting—can supplement interpretive practice, illuminating the ways Romantic legacies are today informing reparative approaches to conservation.
