Answer:
Wordsworth’s Connection to Nature William Wordsworth is one of the famous authors from the Romantic era.

Romanticism followed little of the rules and authors were free to write as they felt. Most literature from this period was based on love, fascinations, obsessions, myths, and nature. A majority of Wordsworth’s literature expressed his obsession with nature.

It was almost as if nature itself was keeping Wordsworth young in spirit.
