The wild fluctuates from raw untouched beauty to civilized, accessible, structured nature in the images related to Wordsworth’s poetry and landscapes in Malouf’s novel. Wordsworth’s notion of the ‘wild’ consists of largely neat, English and domestic, farmlands, orchards, hedges and rivers. David Malouf’s An Imaginary Life presents an uncultivated, inhospitable and empty form of nature, but lively at various occasions. ...
