Abstract
A revolution is much more than a simple series of rebellions by a nation. In France, on Parliament’s pronouncement to increase taxes by Louis XVI, the previously poor populace revolted by the rule of reason and trust in human nature, asserting equality amid all without split of birth. Unluckily, the people were offered these noble concepts in the shape of unclear aims to be achieved. The terror and rise of Napoleon were the culminations of the revolution, with no stopping then. The French Revolution, as a prognosticator of equality and brotherhood shattered into terror and blood craving rebellions; a truth beyond acceptance, particularly for the romantic poets of England. This study, after a thorough investigation of effects of revolution on English Romantic poets, traces the phases of Wordsworth was an ardent supporter of movement who later plunged into frustration and sheer despair with failure of French revolutionary ideas. The textual thematic analysis further investigates through the excerpts from collection of Wordsworth poetry that the poet is not an escapist, but his views administered the terror of the French Revolution. The further investigation of the poetry elucidates that Wordsworth reconstructed his relation with nature in a new potency in some phases in his life. It is inferred that the poet discovered that relation with nature would lead to rebirth of humanity by renewing the faith in goodness and nurturing power of nature. The result was that the turmoil of French Revolution added compassion and love in Wordsworth for nature and humanity.
