    "John Steinbeck's Salinas Valley. Richard Wright's Chicago. Leslie Marmon Silko's New Mexico. Readers often have strong connections with literary places like these. And some works of literature can even change our understanding of the world we live in. But can place also change our view of literature? Site-Reading advances a place-based approach to literature, reading classic texts through the twin lenses of geographical awareness and environmental thought. This book highlights recent developments in ecocriticism and geocriticism to argue for a theory of "ecospatiality" with nature, space, and story as the three elements of place. Site-Reading reconsiders well-known works of twentieth-century American prose and shows how social and environmental issues always overlap. Travel writer William Least Heat-Moon, whose work embodies the ecospatial perspective, portrays his experiences with place on the local, regional, and continental scales. Classic novels by Silko, Willa Cather, and Ana Castillo-usually discussed in isolation-converge in a way that maps diverse cultural perspectives and environmental threats onto the shared geography of Central New Mexico. A reading of Steinbeck's Salinas Valley Watershed texts investigates the impacts of literary tourism in "Steinbeck Country" before drilling down into Steinbeck's portrayals of spatial development and environmental history. And an innovative analysis of Native Son shows how Richard Wright uses cartographic details to decry the spatial/racial politics of South Side Chicago in the 1930s. In this book, Lowell Wyse shows how place provides the grounds for both human experience and critical practice. By bringing together concepts like literary cartography, deep mapping, and bioregionalism in an "ecospatial" approach, Site-Reading not only maps new terrain between ecocriticism and geocriticism, but also shows why place matters-in the world and in the text"--

    Notes:

    Main description: There is no more powerful symbol in American political life than the presidency, and the image of presidential power has had no less profound an impact on American fiction. A Pinnacle of Feeling is the first book to examine twentieth-century literature's deep fascination with the modern presidency and with the ideas about the relationship between state power and democracy that underwrote the rise of presidential authority. Sean McCann challenges prevailing critical interpretations through revelatory new readings of major writers, including Richard Wright, Gertrude Stein, Henry Roth, Zora Neale Hurston, Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, Don Delillo, and Philip Roth. He argues that these writers not only represented or satirized presidents, but echoed political thinkers who cast the chief executive as the agent of the sovereign will of the American people. They viewed the president as ideally a national redeemer, and they took that ideal as a model and rival for their own work. A Pinnacle of Feeling illuminates the fundamental concern with democratic sovereignty that informs the most innovative literary works of the twentieth century, and shows how these works helped redefine and elevate the role of executive power in American culture

    Dieses Buch ist der Versuch, die Beziehung von Literatur und Kultur auf der Grundlage eines ökologisch definierten Funktionsmodells literarischer Texte näher zu bestimmen und an Beispielen des amerikanischen Romans zu erläutern. In dem hier vorgeschlagenen Ansatz spielt die Dimension des Ästhetischen, die in neueren kulturwissenschaftlichen Textzugängen eher unterbelichtet blieb, eine konstitutive Rolle. Es geht nicht primär um eine inhaltliche Untersuchung der Literatur auf ökologische Themen. Es geht vielmehr um Analogien zwischen ökologischen Prozessen und den spezifischen Strukturen und kulturellen Wirkungsweisen der literarischen Imagination. These des Buchs ist es, daß Literatur sich in Analogie zu einem ökologischen Prinzip oder einer ökologischen Kraft innerhalb des größeren Systems ihrer Kultur verhält. Dieser Ansatz wird im ersten Teil theoretisch entwickelt und zunächst im Rahmen gegenwärtiger, vor allem im angloamerikanischen Raum sich abzeichnender Tendenzen zu einer Literary Ecology situiert, danach in den Kontext anderer funktionsorientierter Literaturtheorien gestellt und schließlich in einem kulturökologischen Funktionsmodell imaginativer Texte zusammengefaßt. Im zweiten Teil wird die Reichweite und Tragfähigkeit dieses Modells an sechs repräsentativen amerikanischen Romanen aus verschiedenen Epochen demonstriert: Nathaniel Hawthorne, »The Scarlet Letter«; Herman Melville, »Moby-Dick«; Mark Twain, »The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn«; Kate Chopin, »The Awakening«; Toni Morrison, »Beloved«; Don DeLillo, »Underworld«
