She contends that to interpret their descriptions of nature as "negative," as so many critics have done, is a significant misunderstanding. Glickman provides close readings of several important works, including Susanna Moodie's "Enthusiasm," Charles G.D. Roberts's Ave, and Paulette Jiles's "Song to the Rising Sun," and explores the poems in the context of theories of nature and art. Instead of projecting backward from a modernist perspective, Glickman reads forward from the discovery of landscape as a legitimate artistic subject in seventeenth-century England and argues that picturesque modes of description, and a sublime aesthetic, have governed much of the representation of nature in this country. 606 $aCanadian poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLandscape in literature 606 $aPicturesque, The, in literature 606 $aSublime, The, in literature 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aCanadian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLandscape in literature. 615 0$aPicturesque, The, in literature. 615 0$aSublime, The, in literature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a811.009/3271 700 $aGlickman$b Susan$f1953-$01556052 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780762503321 996 $aThe picturesque and the sublime$93818452 997 $aUNINA
