- Writing Nature is the first book-length ecocritical study of Cold War American literature and offers a comprehensive survey of a wide range of American fiction and poetry written between 1945 and 1971. The 80,000-word monograph has six chapters, each containing substantial original research investigating the diverse influences that shape the depictions of Nature in the work of Paul Bowles, Peggy Pond Church, J. D. Salinger, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Mary McCarthy. Each chapter advances a new – often the first – ecocritical reading of these writers’ work. The chapters on McCarthy and Church are based on new archival research.
