Abstract

The present research paper is mainly concerned with the representation of landscape and that of the city in the poetry of both William Wordsworth and T.S Eliot. It demonstrates how each poet deals with the natural world and the urban life in his poems. It is a comparative study that is based on analyzing different poems by the two poets in terms of thematic level. The main purpose of this research work is to show how although they belong to different movements, Wordsworth and Eliot share some undeniable similarities. It is completely true that each one of them defends his new poetic theory throughout his poetry. But there still exist some connections that are not to be overlooked; each one of them conveys the meaning of his poems by employing vivid images that are drawn from their external world, and they both try to bring new techniques and styles that fit properly their intentions.
