In Ruin and Resilience, Daniel Spoth confronts why the
environmental stories told about the U.S. South curve inevitably
toward distressing plotlines. Examining more than a dozen works of
postbellum literature and cinema, Spoth's analysis winds from John
Muir's walking journey across the war-torn South, through the
troubling of southern environmentalism's modernity by Faulkner and
Hurston, past the accounts of its acceleration in Welty and
O'Connor, and finally into the present, uncovering how the tragic
econarrative is transformed by contemporary food studies, climate
fiction, and speculative tales inspired by the region. Phrased as a
reaction to the rising temperatures and swelling sea levels in the
South, Ruin and Resilience conceptualizes an environmental,
ecocritical ethos for the southern United States that takes account
of its fundamentally vulnerable status and navigates the space
between its reactionary politics and its ecological failures.
