  abstract: John Gatta argues that the religious import of American environmental literature has yet to be fully recognized or understood. 'Making Nature Sacred' explores how the quest for 'natural revelation' has been pursued through successive phases of American literary and intellectual history.
  table of contents: Landfall: the new world as new creation -- Meditating on the creatures in early American life and letters -- Intimations of an environmental ethic in the writings of Jonathan Edwards -- "Revelation to US": green shoots of romantic religion in antebellum America -- Variations on nature: from the old manse to the white whale -- "Rare and delectable places": Thoreau's imagination of sacred space at Walden -- Post-Darwinian visions of divine creation -- Imagined worlds: the lure of numinous exoticism -- Reclaiming the sacred commons -- Learning to love creation: the religious tenor of contemporary ecopoetry.
