"The great purpose of landscape art is to make us at home in our own country" was the nationalist maxim motivating the Group of Seven's artistic project. The empty landscape paintings of the Group played a significant role in the nationalization of nature in Canada, particularly in the development of ideas about northernness, wilderness, and identity. In this book, John O'Brian and Peter White pick up where the Group of Seven left off. They demonstrate that since the 1960s a growing body of both art and critical writing has looked "beyond wilderness" to re-imagine landscape in a world of vastly altered political, technological, and environmental circumstances. By emphasizing social relationships, changing identity politics, and issues of colonial power and dispossession contemporary artists have produced landscape art that explores what was absent in the work of their predecessors. Beyond Wilderness expands the public understanding of Canadian landscape representation, tracing debates about the place of landscape in Canadian art and the national imagination through the twentieth century to the present. Critical writings from both contemporary and historically significant curators, historians, feminists, media theorists, and cultural critics and exactingly reproduced artworks by contemporary and historical artists are brought together in productive dialogue. Beyond Wilderness explains why landscape art in Canada had to be reinvented, and what forms the reinvention took. Contributors include Benedict Anderson (Cornell), Grant Arnold (Vancouver Art Gallery).

Excerpt from The Country Beyond: A Romance of the Wilderness Not far from the rugged and storm-whipped north shore of Lake Superior, and south of the Kaministiqua, yet not as far south as the Rainy River waterway, there lay a paradise lost in the heart of a wilderness world - and in that paradise "a little corner of hell." That was what the girl had called it once upon a time, when sobbing out the shame and the agony of it to herself. That was before Peter had come to leaven the drab of her life. But the hell was still there. One would not have guessed its existence, standing at the bald top of Cragg's Ridge this wonderful thirtieth day of May. In the whiteness of winter one could look off over a hundred square miles of freezing forest and swamp and river country, with the gleam of ice-covered lakes here and there, fringed by their black spruce and cedar and balsam - a country of storm, of deep snows, of men and women whose blood ran red with the thrill and the hardship and the never-ending adventure of the wild.

Excerpt from The Country Beyond: A Romance of the Wilderness That was what the girl had called it once upon a time, when sobbing out the shame and the agony Of it to herself. That was before Peter had come to leaven the drab Of her life. But the hell was still there. One would not have guessed its existence, standing at the bald top Of Cragg's Ridge this wonderful thirtieth day Of May. In the whiteness Of winter one could look Off over a hundred square miles Of freezing forest and swamp and river country, with the gleam Of ice-covered lakes here and there, fringed by their black spruce and cedar and balsam - a country Of storm, Of deep snows, Of men and women whose blood ran red with the thrill and the hardship and the never-ending adventure Of the wild. But this was spring. And such a spring as had not come to the Canadian north country in many years. Until three days ago there had been a deluge Of warm rains, and since then the sun had inundated the land with the golden warmth Of summer. The last chill was gone from the air, and the last bit Of frozen earth and muck from the deepest and blackest swamps. North, South, east and west the wilderness world was a glory Of bursting life, of springtime mellowing into summer. Ridge upon ridge Of yellows and greens and blacks swept away into the unknown distances like the billows Of a vast sea; and between them lay the valleys and swamps, the lakes and waterways, glad with the rippling song of running waters, the sweet scents Of early ﬂowering time, and the joyous voice of all mating creatures. Just under Cragg's Ridge lay the paradise, a meadow-like sweep Of plain that reached down to the edge Of Clearwater Lake, with clumps Of poplars and white birch and darker tapestries Of spruce and ba1 sams dotting it like islets in a sea Of verdant green. The ﬂowers were two weeks ahead of their time and the sweet perfumes Of late June, instead of May, rose up out Of the plain, and already there was nesting in the velvety splashes of timber.

The central concept guiding the management of parks and wilderness over the past century has been “naturalness”—to a large extent the explicit purpose in establishing these special areas was to keep them in their “natural” state. But what does that mean, particularly as the effects of stressors such as habitat fragmentation, altered disturbance regimes, pollution, invasive species, and climate change become both more pronounced and more pervasive? Beyond Naturalness brings together leading scientists and policymakers to explore the concept of naturalness, its varied meanings, and the extent to which it provides adequate guidance regarding where, when, and how managers should intervene in ecosystem processes to protect park and wilderness values. The main conclusion is the idea that naturalness will continue to provide an important touchstone for protected area conservation, but that more specific goals and objectives are needed to guide stewardship. The issues considered in Beyond Naturalness are central not just to conservation of parks, but to many areas of ecological thinking—including the fields of conservation biology and ecological restoration—and represent the cutting edge of discussions of both values and practice in the twenty-first century. This bookoffers excellent writing and focus, along with remarkable clarity of thought on some of the difficult questions being raised in light of new and changing stressors such as global environmental climate change.

I started on my third excursion to the Maine woods Monday, July 20, 1857, with one companion, arriving at Bangor the next day at noon. The succeeding morning, a relative of mine who is well acquainted with the Penobscot Indians took me in his wagon to Oldtown to assist me in obtaining an Indian for this expedition. We were ferried across to the Indian Island in a bateau. The ferryman's boy had the key to it, but the father, who was a blacksmith, after a little hesitation, cut the chain with a cold chisel on the rock. He told me that the Indians were nearly all gone to the seaboard and to Massachusetts, partly on account of the smallpox, of which they are very much afraid, having broken out in Oldtown. The old chief Neptune, however, was there still.
