In this article two typologies of the journey, undertaken and described by two different Romantic poets, William Wordsworth and Lord Byron, are studied to show how a specific personal journey may be diversely presented, elaborated, rendered significant and reproposed in poetry. The texts examined are Books VI and XIV of "The Prelude" of Wordsworth, and Canto III of "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage" of Byron. The study demonstrates how the journey becomes a modality of expression for two different conceptions of Nature, creativity and imagination.
In questo lavoro due tipologie di viaggio, intrapresi e descritti da due diversi poeti romantici, William Wordsworth e Lord Byron, sono studiati per dimostrare come il viaggio personale può essere diversamente presentato, elaborato, reso significativo e ri-proposto in poesia. I testi esaminati sono i Libri VI e XIV di "The Prelude" di Wordsworth, e il Canto III di "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage" di Byron. Lo studio dimostra come il viaggio diventi modalità di espressione per due concezioni diverse della Natura, della creatività e dell’immaginazione.

Abstract
In this article two typologies of the journey, undertaken and described by two different Romantic poets, William Wordsworth and Lord Byron, are studied to show how a specific personal journey may be diversely presented, elaborated, rendered significant and reproposed in poetry. The texts examined are Books VI and XIV of "The Prelude" of Wordsworth, and Canto III of "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage" of Byron. The study demonstrates how the journey becomes a modality of expression for two different conceptions of Nature, creativity and imagination.
