Tracing connections between Gary Snyder and his Romantic and
Transcendentalist predecessors - Wordsworth, Blake, Emerson,
Whitman, and Thoreau - this book explores the tension between
urbanization and over-industrialization. Paige Tovey evaluates the
eco-poetic workings of what Snyder himself calls
"cross-fertilizations" and argues that his poetry reworks British
Romantic as well as American Transcendentalist and modernist ideas
and forms. This study examines the ways in which Snyder negotiates
the urban and the natural, and traces the history of the
Eco-Romantic poetic tradition as it is disseminated from 'Old
World' to 'New World' across the Atlantic. Here, the Romantic
ecopoetic tradition finds new life in Pulitzer Prize-winner Gary
Snyder's poetry and poetics; and the dialectical relationship
between Snyder and his predecessors reminds readers that nature is
never a simple concept.
