Talk:Nature writing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is all too typically Americo-centric. Is there no nature-writing outside America? What about Lamarck? Darwin?
- I agree that there is SO much more to be written on this topic. By all means please add, edit, delete, whatever. I thought that was the whole point of this elaborate Wikipedian exercise! Tea&magpies 03:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
What is "contemporary" defined as, for the purposes of the "List of contemporary American nature writers"? Still living? Born in the 20th century? Should this be spelled out, to avoid future confusion or POV conflicts? (Unless I'm just unfamiliar with an objective standard for what "contemporary" means, which could be the case...) --Ds13 04:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)\
I had the same question. I would consider Edward Abbey "contemporary", but presumably he is not listed because he is not living.
- I was thinking in terms of folks currently working in the genre, but I have no particular investment in the word or even the list itself. I think ultimately a more comprehensive list organized by chronology, subgenre, or whatever would be the ideal. Tea&magpies 00:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
