This paper is an analysis of the poem, “Floating Island at Hawkshed, An Incident in the schemes of Nature” by a female romantic writer Dorothy Wordsworth whose works were marginalized in the literary field. The poem is one of the excellent examples of ecopetry or can be called an ecological narrative. An ecopoet tries to know more than the human world and value the powers of nature that is uncontrollable and unknowable to the human world. It tells the story of an island that is disappeared. The poem is her firsthand experience with the natural world and born not out of imagination. The poem also enables us to understand the representation of material sublime in romanticism that is practiced by women writers in Romanticism.

Ecopoetry, material sublime, feminine romanticism
