Abstract

This essay chronicles the variety of courses that I have taught over a fifteen-year period that either focus on nature-oriented literature or include it in other types of courses. The examples range from first-year composition to advanced doctoral seminars, and include courses that focus on minority American literature and literature by women. The article is intended to encourage neophytes to venture into working nature-oriented literature into their course development at whatever college level they teach. It also provides a fairly long list of literary works that can be used in courses, including poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
