This book introduces the origin, development and current situation of American nature writing and sorts out many representative authors and works of the complete system of American nature writing into such categories as the influence of transcendentalism, the wilderness complex, the English cultural heritage, female writers, land ethics, and refuge of the heart. As a multi-disciplinary field combining language, literature, philosophy, ecology, botany and ethics, American nature writing seeks to tell the story of places and explore the connection between human spirituality and a particular place, blending natural history with the history of human development. Thus, the focus of this book is on stories of places and the spiritual connection between people and these places. It analyses the representative writers of American nature writing such as Thoreau, Emerson, Burroughs, Olson, etc. and their works and respective relations or stories with nature, which offers the reader with a fascinating insight into American nature writing.
