Lit of the No American Wild
This course aims to involve the student in the thinking of seminal writers who struggled to define human beings' relationship to the natural world. The approach is both literary and historical. It is historical in that it begins with the overwhelming effect that the fecundity of the new world had on writers and ends with the effect that profound environmental problems are having on thinkers who use the techniques and form of expression usually identified with writers of creative and imaginary literature. Students will read essays, fiction, and poetry. Some videos and media presentations will be viewed.
