James Thomson’s The Seasons could not be measured by just one approach because of its multidisciplinary writing style that consists of sociology, science, religion and so on. The popularity of The Seasons crossing the two antithetic periods—neo-classical era known as ‘the age of reason’ and romantic era known as ‘the age of emotion,’—can also explain its assorted writing style and completedness as well. “Lyrical Sociology” here is just an approach to reveal how effectively and deeply the heterogeneous combining can hold reader’s attention even today. Seen from the perspective of Lyrical sociology, Thomson’s balanced tightrope feat between lyrical emotion covering myriad natural scenes in cyclical season and reasonal sociology covering various social systems and human relationships makes tension from readers’ minds, which results in the active reconsideration of the place where we are dwelling in. And in The Seasons the reconsideration is much the same with the recognition of the sublimity of nature. Nature writing and ecocriticism have sought the way to turn readers’ anthropocentric mind into ecoconscious one. And ecocriticism has refused flatly men’s ‘reason’ or ‘language’ as a chief instigator for men to have their own superiority over nature, which, in a way, result in alienating literature from its own characteristics. But The Seasons, regardless of its anthropocentric basis from the age of reason, attains completely the sublimity of Nature and humble position of men in nature. This precedent set by The Seasons can be a good weapon against ‘the environmental war’ today without discarding the dignity of literature itself at all.
