Interpretation of Nature:A Comparison of the Influence of Childhood Experience on William Wordsworth and John Ruskin

摘要

Since childhood,William Wordsworth and John Ruskin have developed a very natural love for landscape and scenery.Although they have different ways to interpret what they see and how they feel,they both stick to their genuine feelings without pre⁃tension in their poems.Those unpretentious feelings and behaviors,which are crucial to their later development to be remarkable artists,come from their original habit and attitude towards Nature as a child.All their life,they preserved this innocence in their work as a memory of childhood.
