Abstract

William Wordsworth one of the renowned name in English poetry. As this is a known fact that English poetry and literature has always been influenced by culture and philosophies of other nations and in this contribution of India is a landmark. This can be marked in his poems by interpreting his poems in light of vedantic philosophy. Indian seers occupy the highest post in seeking and exploring the depths of the spirit. In Wordsworth poems we come across the concept of one God or one supreme soul, life after death, worshipping nature and many more. All these concepts are justified to their fullest by vedantic philosophy. in this paper I explore his poems for their vedantic influence.
