About this product
Product Information
Ranging widely across scholarly disciplines, "Back to Nature" illuminates the response of seventeenth-century culture, especially English literature, to the way urbanization, capitalism, Protestantism, colonialism, Skepticism, empiricism, and new technologies conspired to alienate people from both the earth and reality itself.

Back to Nature is demanding, at times dizzying, in its range and boldness, the all-encompassing and often surprising nature of its conjunctions. . . . Sections of the book amount to the most powerful and wide-ranging 'green' reading of early modern literature that has yet emerged., "One of the most impressive works of scholarship I have encountered in three decades of reading such material. To observe the skill with which the author applies his extraordinary mind to the interrelations of similar but not obviously connected ideas is alternately thrilling and humbling."-Russ McDonald, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, "One of the most impressive works of scholarship I have encountered in three decades of reading such material.
