The Natural Environment in the Selected Poems of Keats and Osundare.

      Аннотация: The natural environment has been degraded with the attendant fatal consequences. These problems in contrast to the beauty of the natural environment remain a source for literary creativity. This study underlined this time-space factor as it compared the nature poems of John Keats and Niyi Osundare. These nature-poets in question are from distinct environments and periods and their works emphasized the particular and the universal, thereby making them appropriate for our analysis. This book examined how Osundare inter-textually connected with Keats’ poetic vision of the environment and how this relationship initiated an environmental-specific dialogue between the past and the present. In essence, this book is an academic exercise for literary scholars especially lovers of nature-poetry. It is an invaluable resource material for individuals and corporate bodies, policy makers in governments, NGOs, International bodies like the UNO, who are genuinely concerned about the present state of the natural environment and stand for its replenishment and sustainability.
