Literature about nature.

Most good books about nature are actually anti-nature. Blood Meridian, Butcher's Crossing, The Peregrine all warn against romanticizing the wilderness. Thoreau was a fucking hack.

have you ever heard of poetry?
that's where the good nature stuff is. nature is more of a lyrical than narrative topic.

>>9576464

Hardy is always good for pastoral landscapes. Some of the description in Tess are absolutely beautiful.

>>9577832

Nutting is so good.

The Grass is awful though, it looks like the author took the "Ideogrammatic method" a bit too literally

I disagree pretty strongly, but my favorite of the three is Keats is Coughing.

Walden isn't really about nature. It's a "NEET's Guide to Life" book. His mom did his laundry and cooked him tendies every weekend.
