- Oceanic terrain: The journal of Julius Rodman and A lady's life in the Rocky Mountains -- "I kin turn you ter a tree": hybrid identities in The conjure woman and "Life in the iron-mills" -- Ecocritical city: modernist reactions to urban environments in Eliot, Miss Lonelyhearts, and Paterson -- Biocentric assimilation: Salem cigarettes, Field notes, and A timbered choir -- The ozone hole the imagination seeks to fill: theory, exhibition, and White noise -- Decentralized visions: The green reader, Bearheart, and the Parable of the sower -- Sabotage and eco-terror: Edward Abbey, the Unabomber manifesto, and Earth First! -- Epilogue: from the sublime to the (eco) absurd: the millenial activist in pop nature.
- "Focusing on a variety of literary works and cultural artifacts, Ecosublime explores 19th-century, modern, postmodern, and millennial texts as they portray the changing ecological face of America." "In each instance, Rozelle finds evidence that the ecosublime - nature experienced as an instance of wonder and fear - profoundly reflects spiritual and political responses to the natural world, America's increasingly anti-ecological trajectory, and the ascendance of a post-natural landscape."--Jacket.
