The Georgic Mode in Twentieth-Century American Literature: The Satisfactions of Soil and Sweat delves into the realm of environmental writing, which emphasizes the significance of labor. According to Ethan Mannon, Virgil's Georgics, as well as the georgic mode in general, exerted a profound influence on numerous renowned American writers, including Robert Frost, Willa Cather, and Wendell Berry. These writers, along with others, sought to revise the mode to align more effectively with their own contexts. This book also highlights the enduring value of the georgic literary tradition, spanning two thousand years of writing that begins with the fundamental belief that humans must utilize the world to survive and find a harmonious balance between their needs and nature's productive capacity.
Within the georgic mode, authors discovered a versatile discourse that empowered them to advocate for the preservation and sustainable utilization of fertile lands, portray rural regions and individuals in their entirety, delve into the complex relationships between humans and laboring animals, and promote the sensory delights associated with rooted work.
