Abstract
Para las figuras clave del Romanticismo
inglés, el caminar por la naturaleza fue una
intensa experiencia poética que dio origen
a algunos de sus mejores poemas, basados
en la búsqueda de la inmersión total en la
Naturaleza y del conocimiento del yo del
poeta. La obra de W. Wordsworth y S. T.
Coleridge es un claro ejemplo de este viaje
epistemológico por el mundo natural, en el
que la identidad del poeta se difumina para
ser reconstruida después en su íntima comunión
con la Naturaleza. En este trabajo
sostenemos que el caminar tiene un efecto
poético similar en la obra de Miguel de
Unamuno y Antonio Machado, que unen
a la lectura de la poesía pedestre de Wordsworth
y Coleridge su propia experiencia
del campo español
Walking in Nature was for the English Romantics an intense poetic experience, which originated some of their best poems, based on the search of a total immersion in Nature and of the gaining of the poet’s self-knowledge. The poetry of W. Wordsworth and S. T. Coleridge epitomises this epistemological journey in the natural world, in which the limits of the poet’s identity are blurred, being that identity reconstructed afterwards in its intimate communion with Nature. A similar poetic effect, we contend, is produced in two major early twentieth-century Spanish poets, namely Miguel de Unamuno and Antonio Machado, both by means of their reading of Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s pedestrian poems, and by their own exposure to the Spanish countryside
