The Ecological Consciousness of Natural Writing in British and American Romantic Literature.

Abstract

The ecological crisis made the British and American ecological literature develop rapidly in the 20th century ecological thought. As a unique literary style that expresses the relationship between nature and man, British and American ecological literature has a far-reaching romantic tradition, and returning to nature is its eternal theme and dream. The study of the romantic tradition of British and American ecological literature has important implications for the development of ecological literature and ecological criticism. British and American romantic writers wrote their own ecological consciousness from three aspects: natural aesthetic and spiritual significance, simple ecological environmental protection consciousness, and life community. They reveal the true meaning of beauty in nature, interpret the beauty of harmony in harmony with nature, advocate returning to nature and the beautiful nature of human beings, and open up a natural path leading to truth, goodness, and beauty for people to pursue their spiritual home. In addition, they also expressed their deep concern for natural resources and the natural environment and called on people to respect life and protect and rationally use natural resources. It highlights that people are not the real masters of the nature, but as an inseparable member of the nature, they form an equal community of destiny with other creatures in the world. The value of British and American romantic literature lies in revealing the deep relationship and mutual influence between human beings and nature and prompting people to comprehend the importance of protecting the ecological environment and living in harmony with nature.
