Nature Writing in American Literature: Inspirations, Interrelations, and Impacts of California Authors on the Deep Ecology Movement.

The article highlights the interrelationships within a group of writers who support on the deep ecology movement principles in the U.S. The author claims that the work of John Muir, Mary Austin, John Steinbeck, Robinson Jeffers, and Gary Snyder were an important component in both the postulation and promotion of the platform principles of the deep ecology movement. He adds that the writers' work have impacted the movement in a different way. Meanwhile, the author believes that it is safe to say that deep ecology supporters often reached out to literature in search of a cogent expression of the non-anthropocentric worldviews which are based on the knowledge generated by the science of ecology and deep knowledge of place.
