What is the setting in the poem, The World Is Too Much With Us?

England is an implied setting in the poem. Although there is no physical description of England within the text, the speaker does describe some of the prevailing social attitudes of the country in the first section of the poem. The England the speaker examines has been deeply affected by the encroachment of industrialization brought about by the First Industrial Revolution. As a result, the people living there have become obsessed with material wealth and civil society, rejecting their spiritual bond with the natural world in favor of the capitalist world represented by the nation.
