Inhalt:
American Georgics takes as its primary problem the question of the human place in nature. By extending our understanding of what counts as environmental literature back before Thoreau, Sweet shows that early texts, while not necessarily "green" in contemporary terms, can offer important insights into our relationship to the environment.
