- W2587521562 abstract "Science and nature appreciation have gone hand in hand since at least the time of John Ray's The Wisdom of God Manifested in the Works of Creation (1691), and finding God's marvels in the world the scientist saw was for more than a century a relatively easy task. Even the decline of natural religion in the 19th century did not kill the connection of science to sentiment; Romantic rapture simply replaced Godly awe.1 We commonly think of Darwinian evolution, showing nature as a war of all against all, devoid equally of God's hand and moral lessons, as breaking that link, but this is too simple a formulation. It was an interpretive challenge to nature writers, but it presented no problems of specialized knowledge or vocabulary. The Origin of Species was written in ordinary English and could be understood by the educated nonscientist (perhaps the last scientific classic of which this could be said).2 The rise of the biological sciences in the late 19th century presented a more serious problem. Natural history split into a variety of specialized, academic disciplines, each requiring specialized training. Research became quantitative, tied to increasingly abstruse theory, and written in a special vocabulary. To abandon science as the basis for nature appreciation was possible, but that would have robbed nature literature of much of its appeal and authority, reducing it from enlightenment to sentiment. But where in these charts, graphs, tables, technical terms, and theories could be found joy in nature and awe at its sublimity? This-finding aesthetic and spiritual meaning in a quantitative, academic science-has been the central problem of 20th century American nature writing. It has shaped the genre's" @default.
