Book Description:
While the phrase 'literature and environment' only came into popularity in recent decades, writers as far back as the explorers of the 1500s and later the Romanticists of the 19th century such as Thoreau, began addressing environmental issues through their literary expression. This volume introduces students and educators to the field with an inspiring essay tracing the evolution of environmental writing in this country. The chapters, written by distinguished scholars, offer new perspectives on important environmental issues by guiding them through eleven carefully selected literary works. The works analysed here encompass a wide spectrum of literature spanning nearly a hundred years including early writings such as Mary Austin's 1903 The Land of Little Rain, groundbreaking and well known works such as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962), and Gary Snyder's Turtle Island (1974). Also included here are frequently assigned works of special interest to students such as The Monkey Wrench Gang(1975), The Earthsea Trilogy (1977), and Ceremony (1977).
