• W73549145 abstract "Wendell Berry commands attention as passionate and eloquent defender of sustainable agriculture on human scale, morally as well as economically viable farming that implies respect for land, for family and community, and for wisdom embodied in local culture. Through his fiction, his poetry (including Farming: A Handbook), and especially collections of essays such as Unsettling of America and Gift of Good Land, Berry has become widely known as persuasive defender of life and work rooted in particular, rural place (in his case hill farm in Henry County, Kentucky) and as trenchant critic of agribusiness and of what he would call industrial as opposed to natural economy. Yet one of most striking things about Berry's work is his attraction to wilderness, particularly in form of forests from which cleared fields of farmer were wrested and to which he imagines them eventually returning. Berry resists common tendency to oppose and culture, wild and domestic, and finds meaning and health in their interaction. In his later essays, beginning at least with A Continuous Harmony (1970), Berry stresses interdependency of and culture and urges life based upon achieving harmony between these apparent opposites. In The Body and Earth, published in Unsettling of America (1977), he faults modern travellers for transforming into scenery and forgetting that it circumscribe[s] civilization and persist[s] in domesticity (Recollected Essays 273). Such claim reverses familiar perspective that assumes human dominion over natural world, to suggest that contains civilization and continues to be felt within space claimed by it; it implies that we should recognize that we are still part of dominant natural order. Berry's insistence that civilized and domestic depend upon reflects deeply held beliefs about both health of farm and health of spirit. If farm is to last and to thrive, must survive within it (Recollected Essays 313). In most practical sense, this means recognizing that fertility is linked to natural processes of growth and decay that exemplifies. One must look to woods to know how to preserve fields, an insight Berry attributes to English agriculturalist Sir Albert Howard but has made thoroughly his own. Berry also urges importance of preserving part of actual forest within farm as grove, a place Creation is let alone, to serve as instruction, example, refuge (Recollected Essays 314). In some of his more recent essays, particularly Getting Along with Nature and Preserving Wildness in Home Economics (1987), Berry insists even more strongly on what he calls there the indivisibility of wildness and domesticity (Home Economics 139), partly in an effort to stake out middle ground between nature extremists, who assume that natural good is human good, and technology extremists, who would manipulate to serve their particular sense of human good. Berry can accept argument for setting aside public places of absolute wilderness (Edward Abbey's term) but is more interested in small pieces of found on farms or in corners of cities which he views as sacred groves where one can go to learn and be restored (Home Economics 17). Even margins, such as fence rows or streamsides, are valuable freeholds of wilderness (Home Economics 151) that help to create landscape of harmony, preferable to landscape of monoculture, in which wild and domesticated co-exist. One finds growing concern about survival of in Berry's later writing (expressed in Preserving Wildness), concern that has become dependent upon human forbearance, but this only intensifies his conviction that one must find ways of valuing and preserving wild in daily, domestic life. …" @default.
