Abstract

Keats had a strong sense of responsibility for nature in his short life. He loved nature with a charitable heart, praised nature and constantly understood the relationship between man and nature and the law of nature development, which formed his view of nature. From the perspective of ecological ethics criticism to interpret Keats' works, we find the beauty-appreciation of Keats' poetry is one kind of supreme ecological ethics appreciation. The political tendency in Keats' Poetry contains his desire for freedom and democracy, artistic pursuit for truth, goodness and beauty, and the wish for harmonious spiritual ecology. Based on the author's reading experience of Keats, this paper analyzes the change of Keats' ecological view and studies the ecological nature of truth, goodness and beauty in Keats' poetry.
