Synopsis
The relationship of wilderness to civilization has been a major preoccupation of poets and novelists from Bryant to Faulkner. The cultural heritage developed out of a great deal of philosophizing, romanticizing and fantasizing about the wilderness. But for all the enthusiasm that accompanied its conquest, we have not necessarily developed an appreciation for the actual phenomenon of wilderness itself - its trees, bogs, snakes, rocks, wolves and dirt. In "The Wilderness Reader", Frank Bergon includes the writings of 26 memorable writers whose personal experiences bring the reader into direct confrontation with nature in all its beauty and power. Taken as a whole, this book offers an eloquent plea for the preservation of a precious, yet ever diminishing, part of our national heritage. "The Wilderness Reader" is an excellent representation of a small but distinctive body of American literature that concerns itself primarily with the wilderness as physical fact. The writers blend emotions with informed observation. Their purpose is literary, for they successfully convey the "experience" of participating firsthand in the life of the wilderness.
