This course engages literary texts that focus on humans in relation to their natural environment. Conceived as a survey course, it attempts to delineate the various traditions of environmental concern, from the ancient past to the present, and to draw attention to the ongoing relevance of such texts. Students will learn how to read closely and carefully, and how to make such literature meaningful for their own daily lives. Prerequisite: ENGL 2010 or equivalent.
