literature‚ the conception of Nature seems to be a quite complex question. ’Nature’ is not a concept that can be grasped easily and it often requires discussing some great philosophical conceptions like ’Pantheism’ or ’Deism’. However‚ my paper will not deal in detail with such vast enquiries. I rather want to focus more accurately on how ’Nature’ is used by Pope and Coleridge‚ respectively. With other words‚ I would like to analyse the function of the concept of ’Nature’. The fact is‚ that even if
