Critics, so far, have pointed out the mystic, didactic, and philosophical aspects of Wordsworth＇s nature poetry. In the backdrop of global deforestation and environmental degradation, traditional approaches to the evaluation of Wordsworth＇s nature poetry have lost charms and appeals to both the readers and the environmentalists. So, new approaches to the judgment of his poetry are a demand of the day. Keeping this demand in view, this paper aims at delving deep into Wordsworth＇s selected nature poems from eco-scientific point of view.

Taiwan, this article will investigate how they de-contextualize Greek Epic Iliad with an eclectic collage of the tropes of Greek epic, the techniques of environmental theater and Taiwan Residents local opera, and the aesthetics of Taiwan Residents indigenous rituals and Pili Puppetry.
