This fresh take on urban promise and crisis is a must read for anyone interested in literature and American Studies.

This book explores how American literature engages with the climate. By dissecting the cultural roots of American climate discourses, the book at once allows for a better understanding of the polarized reception of the findings of climate science and offers a fresh perspective on classic American texts.
