The Abyss Stares Back
Wild Fictions
Divine Style
Philosophy of the Home
These two studies of the phenomenology of place differ sharply in style, method, and focus. Material culture historian-critic Ivan Gaskell's scholarly reconstruction of “the worlds” inhabited by the American writer-craftsman-scientist-philosopher-activist Henry Thoreau delivers a reading experience quite unlike social theorist Emanuele Coccia's sweeping generalizations about how he and others do and should live now. Yet these books converge as co…
God's Scrivener
Of all the literati who swam in and out of Ralph Waldo Emerson's orbit, none displays more strikingly Romanticism's fusion of poetry with visionary mysticism than Jones Very (1813 – 1880). Although most of his eight-hundred-odd poems were humdrum lyrics and commemorative pieces, during an eruption of religio-poetic inspiration in his midtwenties, Very turned out scores of remarkable Shakespearean sonnets — always his preferred genre — in which th…

Imagining Rivers
This contribution features a transatlantic conversation between Christof Mauch, environmental historian and Americanist from Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, and Lawrence Buell, literary scholar and “pioneer” of Ecocriticism from Harvard University. Buell’s The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture (1995) marked the first major attempt to understand the green tradition of environmental wr…
Laid Waste! The Culture of Exploitation in Early America
Bicentennial Thoreau
Recent Thoreau scholarship is remarkable for breakthroughs in the study of his life, writing, and scientific pursuits and for conceiving this proverbial outlier's genius as expressing itself within norms of family, community, discipline. Studies of the political Thoreau test the limits variously set by Walls, Gross, Thorson, Arsić, and others

Uses and Abuses of Environmental Memory
Mania for Freedom
Of the semantic barometers of epistemic change in the Anglophone Atlantic between the mid-eighteenth century and the later nineteenth, few are more telling than the shift in the meaning of enthusiasm in the direction of an honorific, against its earlier pejorative connotation as a synonym for fanaticism. As John Mac Kilgore makes clear, this lexical odyssey played itself out in distinctive but also cross-pollinating ways in the overlapping arenas…
The Dream of the Great American Novel
idea of great American continues to thrive almost as vigorously as in its nineteenth-century heyday, defying 150 years of attempts to dismiss it as amateurish or obsolete. In this landmark book, the first in many years to take in the whole sweep of national fiction, Lawrence Buell reanimates this supposedly antiquated idea, demonstrating that its history is a key to the dynamics of national literature and national identity itself.The dream of the…

A New Literary History of America
America is a nation making itself up as it goes along-a story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nati…
Literature and Environment
Since prehistory, literature and the arts have been drawn to portrayals of physical environments and human-environment interactions. The modern environmentalist movement as it emerged first in the late-nineteenth century and, in its more recent incarnation, in the 1960s, gave rise to a rich array of fictional and nonfictional writings concerned with humans' changing relationship to the natural world. Only since the early 1990s, however, has the l…

Tradução de "In pursuit of ethics", de Lawrence Buell, por André Scoville
Shades of the Planet
Writing for an Endangered World
The environmental imagination does not stop short at the edge of the woods. Nor should our understanding of it, as Lawrence Buell makes powerfully clear in his new book that aims to reshape the field of literature and environmental studies. Emphasizing the influence of the physical environment on individual and collective perception, his book thus provides the theoretical underpinnings for an ecocriticism now reaching full power, and does so in r…

The Timeliness of Place
The Timeliness of Place:Response to the Presidential Address Lawrence Buell (bio) I intend these remarks not as cavils but as friendly amendments to a searching and timely address by a scholar whose work I admire. I share Karen Halttunen's conviction that modernity and globalization, far from auguring the death of place, have made it more consequential, although at the same time they necessitate reconception of what place and place-making are, an…

It's Good, But is it History
IN LITERARY STUDIES OF THE 1980s HISTORICISM HAS BECOME FASHIONABLE almost overnight. Yesterday, to confess to an interest in literary history was to risk being thought a fuddy-duddy; today one can say it with a swagger. The three monographs scrutinized in Christopher Wilson's discerning essay exemplify the high quality of the best of this historical criticism, and show, in their diversity, why it ought to be referred to in the plural rather than…

Reading Emerson for the structures
Emerson's essays have traditionally been considered incoherent; arguments to the contrary have been weakened by their emphasis on such nebulous structural patterns as dialectic, ascending order, and so forth. But close examination of Emerson's rhetoric and his process of revision from journal to lecture to essay shows that he was an artist of the whole as well as parts. He simultaneously provides and conceals structure

Literary Transcendentalism
>p Lawrence Buell combines intellectual history and critical explication, giving equal attention to general trends and to particular works and individuals. His chapters on conversation, religious discourse, catalog rhetoric, and literary travelogue treat intensively topics that have been relatively neglected. His analyses of Ellery Channing's poetry and the use of persona in Emerson and Very are also innovative. In the final section, he offers th…
