Reveals how classic American novels embodied the tensions embedded in American views of the natural world from the Centennial until the end of the Second World War. Reconciling Nature maps the complex views of the environment that are evident in celebrated American novels written between the Centennial Celebration of 1876 and the end of the Second World War. During this period, which includes the Progressive era and the New Deal, Americans held three contradictory views of the natural world: a recognition of nature’s vulnerability to the changes brought by industrialism; a fear of the power of nature to destroy human civilization; and a desire to make nature useful. Robert M. Myers argues they reconciled these conflicting views through nature nostalgia, policing of wilderness areas, and through strategies of control borrowed from the social sciences. Myers combines environmental history with original readings of eight novels, producing fresh perspectives on Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Stephen Crane’s Maggie, Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, Mary Austin’s The Ford, Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, and William Faulkner’s Go Down, Moses. While previous ecocritical works have focused on proto-environmentalism in classic works of literature, Reconciling Nature explores the ambivalence within these texts, demonstrating how they reproduce views of nature as threatened, threatening, and useful. The epilogue examines the environmental ideologies associated with the development and deployment of the first atomic bomb. “Reconciling Nature is an important contribution to ecocriticism, American literary studies, American studies, and environmental history. The book has incredible breadth and scope. In each chapter, Myers incorporates an impressive amount of historical context that always breathes new life into texts that have been discussed at length by other scholars.” — Lloyd Willis, author of Environmental Evasion: The Literary, Critical, and Cultural Politics of “Nature’s Nation”

When we're grieving, we need relief from our pain. Today we often turn to technology for distraction when what we really need is the opposite: generous doses of nature. Studies show that time spent outdoors lowers blood pressure, eases depression and anxiety, bolsters the immune system, lessens stress, and even makes us more compassionate. This guide to the tonic of nature explores why engaging with the natural world is so effective at helping reconcile grief. It also offers suggestions for bringing short bursts of nature time (indoors and outdoors) into your everyday life as well as tips for actively mourning in nature. This book is your shortcut to hope and healing...the natural way.
