Nature’s Reflection: A Comparative Study of the Depiction of Nature in the Writings of Ruskin Bond and William Wordsworth

Author(s) Dr. Brajesh Kumar

Abstract Nature has always played a vital role in shaping literary imagination across cultures and historical periods. From pastoral poetry to Romanticism and contemporary eco-literature, writers have turned to the natural world to explore emotional depth, moral values, and philosophical insight. William Wordsworth, a pioneering Romantic poet of nineteenth-century England, and Ruskin Bond, a prominent contemporary Indian writer, represent two significant literary voices who place nature at the heart of their creative vision. While Wordsworth elevates nature as a spiritual guide and moral teacher capable of shaping human consciousness, Bond presents nature as an intimate companion closely woven into the fabric of everyday life. This article undertakes a comparative study of the depiction of nature in the writings of Wordsworth and Bond, examining their thematic concerns, philosophical perspectives, narrative techniques, and environmental consciousness. Despite differences in literary form, historical context, and cultural background, both writers underscore the restorative, ethical, and transformative power of nature, making their works especially relevant in the contemporary era of ecological crisis.
