解説
Reading Nature highlights the ten books that most influenced the scope and direction of literary natural history in the United States. It explores how American nature writing came to focus on the deep observation of wild landscapes and how the genre evolved over 163 years, beginning with the publication of Henry David Thoreau's Walden in 1854. The volume also examines Mary Austin's Land of Little Rain (1903), John Burroughs's Ways of Nature (1905), Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac (1949), Rachel Carson's The Sea around Us (1951), Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire (1968), Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (1974), Terry Tempest Williams's Refuge (1991), Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass (2013), and J. Drew Lanham's The Home Place (2016). This book features a series of close readings exploring how these authors transformed popular understanding of the natural world.
