内容简介：
The lecture explores how the American writers think about and interpret nature from the early 1600s to the 20th century. Three periods are traced: the Puritans, the Transcendentalists, and the Naturalists. Puritan writers saw nature as another text reflecting the Protestant Christian world-order. Transcendentalists understood nature as the best place to find the kind of spiritual enlightenment. The Naturalist writers portrayed nature as a hostile place that brings home to humans the insignificance and meaninglessness of their existence, especially when they act individualistically. All these writers understood nature as an expression of their world views.
