In pre-Romantic poetry nature is represented as the place suitable for man and is represented in its most extreme form (uncontrolled aspects). The poets of the first generation add new perspectives of nature, Wordsworth sees nature in a nostalgic way, sees it as a healing form of the universe and as a source of poetic inspiration. Instead Colerige is more interested in discovering the supernatural, the sublime and the fantastic in nature and uses photos of natural landscapes to describe dreamlike landscapes.
The poets of the second generation instead nature takes on new connotations, for example Shelley recognizes nature as a unifying force to the spirit of beauty, but Shelley sees nature as not only a benign force but also an uncontrolled force.
Keats finds it as a source of sensual stimulation.
