Excellent- More about The Saving Grace of America's Green Jeremiad
American environmental literature often portrays the natural world in an appreciative and lyrical way, but conservation-minded authors have also been inspired to dramatize anthropogenic perils to environmental preservation. John Gatta's "Green Jeremiad" tradition warns of material perils and incorporates a spiritual, existential layer of meaning, drawing inspiration from Puritan New England's prophecy tradition.
Format: Hardback
Length: 160 pages

Publisher: Lexington Books
American environmental literature has a unique way of expressing its appreciation for the natural world. However, authors who are concerned about conservation have also been compelled to highlight the diverse threats posed by human activities to the preservation of the environment. John Gatta's latest work sheds light on how this darker strain of environmental writing expands upon a tradition of prophecy inherited from Puritan New England. Jeremiads, inspired by ancient Hebrew prophecy, go beyond mere expressions of doom and gloom to offer glimpses of renewal through a conversion of heart. This "Green Jeremiad" tradition in writing not only alerts us to material dangers but also incorporates a profound spiritual and existential dimension.
