Description

This scholarly examination by Kyhl Lyndgaard explores how captivity narratives shaped American land-use policy and environmental attitudes during the nineteenth century. The study reveals the intricate connections between ethnicity, landscape, and authorship within these historical accounts, presenting an alternative perspective on environmental literature that emphasises nature as home rather than a temporary refuge. Lyndgaard analyses captivity narratives from the 1820s and 1830s, including foundational texts such as A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison and The Captivity and Adventures of John T, demonstrating how cross-cultural collaborations informed American environmental thought. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in World Literatures and the Environment series, this book offers readers a nuanced understanding of how early American literature engaged with environmental concerns and indigenous perspectives. The work serves scholars, students, and researchers interested in American literature, environmental history, and the cultural dimensions of land relationships in the early United States.
