ENGL E-183B
Seeing Nature in the Twentieth Century
In this course, students survey important contributions to modern American environmental literature.
From the gritty social realism of the early 1900s to the post-pastoral lyricism of the early 2000s, we consider the diverse ways in which Americans have grappled with environmental issues in fiction, poetry, and even some photography.
Our readings include writers like Mary Austin, Annie Dillard, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Helena María Viramontes.
