With the sixteenth-century shift in England from an agrarian economy to a trade economy, what changes do we see in representations of soil as reflected in the language and stories during that time? This collection brings focused scholarly attention to conceptions of soil in the early modern period, both as a symbol and as a feature of the physical world, aiming to correct faulty assumptions that cloud our understanding of early modern ecological thought: that natural resources were then poorly understood and recklessly managed, and that cultural practices developed in an adversarial relationship with natural processes. Moreover, these essays elucidate the links between humans and the lands they inhabit, both then and now. 410 0$aMedieval and Renaissance literary studies. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aSoil and civilization 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aSoil and civilization. 676 $a820.9003 702 $aEklund$b Hillary Caroline$f1977- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826417703321 996 $aGround-Work$94050418 997 $aUNINA
