Product Description

This comprehensive book on American nature writing introduces the

reader to how American nature writing develops, and gives a systematic

and telling review of the representative authors and their works, with a

well-selected bibliography. It starts with the concept, origin and features

of nature writing, and goes into details about these authors, from John

Smith, William Bradford, Jonathan Edwards and William Bartram of the

New World Era, to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, to female

writers of Susan F. Cooper, Celia Thaxter and Mabel Osgood Wright, and

to Terry Tempest Williams and Gary Snyder of the times.

Its motif is to tell a story of the land, to explore the atlas of the human

soul and of nature, and to chronicle a literature that blends history of

nature with that of human development.
