In this comprehensive study of the genre, Don Scheese traces its
evolution from the pastoralism evident in the natural history
observations of Aristotle and the poetry of Virgil to current
American writers. He documents the emergence of the modern form of
nature writing as a reaction to industrialization. Scheese's
personal observations of natural settings sharpen the reader's
understanding of the dynamics between author and locale. His study
is further informed by ample use of illustrations and close
readings core writers such as Thoreau, John Muir, and Mary Austin
showing how each writer's work exemplifies the pastoral tradition
and celebrate a spirit of place in the United States.
