Human Emotion and Perception of Nature in John Burroughs’s Wake-Robin

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The paper examines the relationship between humans and nature in John Burroughs’s Wake-Robin by focusing on human emotion and perception of nature. It also studies the role of nature writing by tracing the history of American nature writing. To understand the dynamics of perception and emotion in nature writing, Wake-Robin is used as an example to illustrate how different forms of nature, such as birds, flora, and fauna, interact with the human psyche. Burroughs also uses nature, birds and their daily activities, forest, and rivers to stress the importance of respecting and protecting the ecosystem. He employs an emotional language and creates different images of nature that help readers to feel attached not only to humans but non-humans.
