The natural environment and humankind's relation to it have been sources of fascination and concern throughout the history of America. This course will examine a variety of literature from pre-settlement to contemporary times. Sources may include Native American legends, explorers' logs, settlers' journals, letters, poems, essays, and other works of fiction and nonfiction. A wide range of views, both historical and current, will be examined. Works of art, architecture, and music will also be considered as alternative ways of reading the environment.
