Back To Nature by Robert N. Watson
The Green and the Real in the Late Renaissance
A study of the late Renaissance that explores how English writers negotiated the idea of nature by juxtaposing pastoral longings and “green” ideals with the material realities of labor, mortality, and environmental exploitation. Through readings of poems and plays, it shows how cultural works both idealize rural life and confront ecological pressures, using the natural world to think through ethics, politics, property, and identity.
