The Seasons by James Thomson, published in 1818, is a collection of long blank-verse poems that celebrate nature's beauty and the cyclical rhythms of the year. Divided into four sections—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—the work reflects on the transformative power of the seasons and humanity's connection to the natural world. Thomson’s vivid descriptions and reflective tone combine to evoke a sense of wonder and reverence for the landscape, making it a cornerstone of 18th-century nature poetry and a precursor to Romantic ideals. The collection influenced subsequent poets with its blend of pastoral imagery and philosophical contemplation.
