Passions for Nature: Nineteenth-Century America's Aesthetics of Alienation
"Passions for Natureis a magnificent and exciting book, thoroughly grounded in literary studies and in original readings of nineteenth-century literature, the visual arts, and landscape design. It has sweeping implications for new work and it ends with thought-provoking conclusions about our situation today."--Laura Dassow Walls, author ofEmerson’s Life in Science: The Culture of Truth
