Russian ecological literature writers and British "Lake Poets School" writers in the 19th century were determined to build their literary values by appreciating the natural world. Due to diverse circumstances as well as personal experiences, the two countries' writers have their respective views on nature, ecology, attitudes towards life, and writing styles. Based on the issues above, this paper conducts a detailed textual reading of the works of Wordsworth and Prishvin. From the perspective of natural ecology, it compares and interprets the similarities, mutual influences, and cultural characteristics of Russian ecological writers represented by Prishvin and British romanticist poet Wordsworth as well as their respective cultural characteristics.
