Landscapes of Genius and the Transatlantic Origins of Environmentalism
Nineteenth-Century British and American Literary Cultures of Nature
Description
Scott D. Hess explores how British and American authors' 'genius' became associated with natural landscapes during the nineteenth century, defining nature through fine arts and national high culture. His history traces the roots of a transatlantic environmental movement that was deeply shaped by social distinctions of race, class, and gender.
