Climate has infused the literary history of the United States, from
the writings of explorers and conquerors, over early national
celebrations of the American climate, to the flowering of romantic
nature writing. This volume traces this complex semantic history in
American thought and literature to examine rhetorical and
philosophical discourses that continue to propel and constrain
American climate perceptions today. It explores how American
literature from its inception up until the present engages with the
climate, both real and perceived. Climate and American Literature
attends to the central place that the climate has historically
occupied in virtually all aspects of American life, from public
health and medicine, over the organization of the political system
and the public sphere, to the culture of sensibility, aesthetics
and literary culture. It details American inflections of climate
perceptions over time to offer revealing new perspectives on one of
the most pressing issues of our time.
