This paper examines how Wordsworth's An Evening Walk constructs its own picturesque style. The poem is written under the influence of Gilpin's picturesque theory, but it is beyond the limits of the theory. William Gilpin emphasizes the importance of the rough appearance of natural objects and rejects artificial beauty. He prefers to see people adapted or naturalized to the landscape because he believes that the picturesque aesthetics contains the consciousness that the nature itself should be viewed and evaluated. Gilpin further stresses the overall harmony of the natural landscape, revealing a humble belief that nature is composed of various forms and is out of human understanding. Wordsworth's An Evening Walk seeks the harmony of the landscape to harmonize the landscape through the chiaroscuro of light and shade, but the poet's picturesque poetry captures the movements of the mind that conform to the scenery in addition to the portrayal of the landscape. The poet shows that the emotional reaction or the manifestation of imagination comes from the close connection with the natural landscape through the anecdotes of the female beggar, suggesting that human thoughts and emotions are the inevitable events of life and death on the natural stage. In An Evening Walk, nature is stamped as a base for directing the failure of the community and for restoring the community of sympathy. In this respect, An Evening Walk anticipates the poet’s poetry such as The Ruined Cottage, "Tintern Abbey", Home at Grasmere, and "Michael" written during his great period. Gilpin's picturesque theory and Wordsworth's An Evening Walk leads us to rethink the (re)union of the eye and the material, which makes it possible to find the intrinsic value of a natural object in the image or description created by such (re)union. Given the humility of nature, the awareness of nature's wholeness, and the perception of nature as a basis for our thoughts and emotions, it could be said that Gilpin's picturesque theory and Wordsworth's An Evening Walk anticipates a proto-ecological worldview.
Abstract
This paper examines how Wordsworth's An Evening Walk constructs its own picturesque style. The poem is written under the influence of Gilpin's picturesque theory, but it is beyond the limits of the theory. William Gilpin emphasizes the importance of the rough appearance of natural objects and rejects artificial beauty. He prefers to see people adapted or naturalized to the landscape because he believes that the picturesque aesthetics contains the consciousness that the nature itself should be viewed and evaluated. Gilpin further stresses the overall harmony of the natural landscape, revealing a humble belief that nature is composed of various forms and is out of human understanding. Wordsworth's An Evening Walk seeks the harmony of the landscape to harmonize the landscape through the chiaroscuro of light and shade, but the poet's picturesque poetry captures the movements of the mind that conform to the scenery in addition to the portrayal of the landscape. The poet shows that the emotional reaction or the manifestation of imagination comes from the close connection with the natural landscape through the anecdotes of the female beggar, suggesting that human thoughts and emotions are the inevitable events of life and death on the natural stage. In An Evening Walk, nature is stamped as a base for directing the failure of the community and for restoring the community of sympathy. In this respect, An Evening Walk anticipates the poet’s poetry such as The Ruined Cottage, "Tintern Abbey", Home at Grasmere, and "Michael" written during his great period. Gilpin's picturesque theory and Wordsworth's An Evening Walk leads us to rethink the (re)union of the eye and the material, which makes it possible to find the intrinsic value of a natural object in the image or description created by such (re)union. Given the humility of nature, the awareness of nature's wholeness, and the perception of nature as a basis for our thoughts and emotions, it could be said that Gilpin's picturesque theory and Wordsworth's An Evening Walk anticipates a proto-ecological worldview.
