670. Notations Of The Wild : Ecology Poetry Wallace Stevens

Author

Gyorgyi Voros and Gyorgyi Voros

Subjects
Wilderness areas in literature, Ecology in literature, Nature in literature
Abstract

In the summer of 1903, just before he turned twenty-four, Wallace Stevens joined a six-week hunting expedition to the wilderness of British Columbia. The adventure profoundly influenced his conceptions of language and silence, his symbolic geography, and his sensibilities toward wild nature as nonhuman “other.” The rugged western mountains came to represent that promontory of experience—“green's green apogee”—against which Stevens would measure the reality of all his later perceptions and conceptions and by which he would judge the purpose and value of works of the human imagination. Notations of the Wild views his poetry as a radical reimagining of the nature/culture dialectic and a reinstatement of its forgotten term—Nature. Gyorgyi Voros focuses on three governing metaphors in Stevens'poems—Nature as house, Nature as body, and Nature as self. She argues that Stevens'youthful wilderness experience yielded his primary subject—the relationship between human beings and nonhuman nature—and that it spurred his shift from a romantic to a phenomenological understanding of nature. Most important, it prompted him to reject his culture's narrow humanism in favor of a singular vision that in today's terms would he deemed ecological.

671. Ecocriticism.

Author

Issitt, Micah

Subjects
Ecology in literature, Ecocriticism
Abstract

Ecocriticism is a subfield of literary scholarship involved in studying the relationship between literature and the physical environment. Ecocriticism began to cohere within literary scholarship in the 1990s, with contributions from a variety of academic disciplines. Modern ecocriticism remains an interdisciplinary field with contributions from the sciences, academic and social research, literature, and art. While nature writing, environmentalism, and natural philosophy are important parts of ecocriticism, the field can also be seen as encompassing a broader array of writing and media about the human relationship to the physical world, including urban and human-made artificial environments.
