Loren Eiseley (1907-77) is one of the most important American
nature writers of the twentieth century and an admired practitioner
of creative nonfiction. A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, Eiseley was
a professor of anthropology and a prolific writer and poet who
worked to bring an understanding of science to the general public,
incorporating religion, philosophy, and science into his
explorations of the human mind and the passage of time. As a writer
who bridged the sciences and the humanities, Eiseley is a challenge
for scholars locked into rigid disciplinary boundaries. Artifacts
and Illuminations, the first full-length collection of critical
essays on the writing of Eiseley, situates his work in the genres
of creative nonfiction and nature writing. The contributing
scholars apply a variety of critical approaches, including
ecocriticism and place-oriented studies ranging across prairie,
urban, and international contexts. Contributors explore such
diverse topics as Eiseley's use of anthropomorphism and Jungian
concepts and examine how his work was informed by synecdoche. Long
overdue, this collection demonstrates Eiseley's continuing
relevance as both a skilled literary craftsman and a profound
thinker about the human place in the natural world.
