Wetlands and Western Cultures: Denigration to Conservation

By Rod Giblett

In Wetlands and Western Cultures: Denigration to Conservation, Rod Giblett examines the portrayal of wetlands in Western culture and argues for their conservation. Giblett's analysis of the wetland motif in literature and the arts, including in Beowulf and the writings of Tolkien and Thoreau, demonstrates two approaches to wetlands--their denigration as dead waters or their commendation as living waters with a potent cultural history.
