Description
In arguing that literary criticism needs to reestablish connections with a wide range of social activities, Kroeber offers new means to develop mutually enriching interactions between humanistic and scientific modes of assessing humankind's dependence on the natural environment. In this book, he focuses attention on the English Romantic poets who sought to describe and evaluate the natural origins of human culture. -- book cover.
