Nineteenth-century Americans celebrated nature through many artistic forms. Although we tend to associate these movements with the nation's dawning environmental consciousness, this book demonstrates that they instead alienated Americans from the physical environment even as they seemed to draw people to it. This book was reviewed in Thoreau Society Bulletin #269, Winter 2010, p. 9.
University of Georgia Press, 2009. Softcover. 300 pp.
