Topographies of the sacred; the poetics of place in European Romanticism.

Rigby, Kate. (Under the sign of nature)

U. of Virginia Press, [c]2004

323 p.

$22.50 (pa)

Rigby (German studies and comparative literature, Monash U., Australia) reconsiders recent understandings of nature, humanity, and the divine that underlie the romantic turn toward the earth and prefigure so much in contemporary ecological thought. Then she explores various configurations of the nexus of nature, place, and poiesis in relation to a range of English and German literary texts.
