American environmental literature characteristically embodies an
appreciative, lyrical evocation of the natural world. But
conservation-minded authors have often been moved to dramatize
diverse, anthropogenic perils to environmental preservation. John
Gatta freshly reveals how this darker strain of environmental
writing enlarges upon a jeremiad tradition of prophecy inherited
from Puritan New England. In the spirit of ancient Hebrew prophecy,
jeremiads reach beyond effusions of doom and gloom toward prospects
of renewal through a conversion of heart. Accordingly, writing
steeped in what Gatta terms this "Green Jeremiad" tradition not
only warns of material perils but incorporates a spiritual,
existential layer of meaning.
