A Keener Perception
Ecocritical Studies in American Art History
EDITED BY Alan C. Braddock and Christoph Irmscher
FOREWORD BY Lawrence Buell
A landmark collection of essays on the intersections of visual art,
cultural studies, and environmental history in America
“[This book] represents an important testing of an ecocritical approachwithin the discipline of art history. Ecocriticism continues to gain greater and greater visibility in cultural studies; and as A Keener Perception attests, this is a discussion art history ought to join.”
—Michael Gaudio, author of Engraving the Savage
“By aligning art history with the interdisciplinary practice of eco-criticism,
this vibrant collection offers an approach to American visual culture that will speak to readers across the Humanities. The essays span an array of genres and time periods…. Braddock and Irmscher’s introduction lucidly defines the theory and practice of eco-criticism and will prove indispensable to students as well as scholars. I will soon be teaching from this uncommon book.”
—Laura Rigal, author of The American Manufactory
