Document Summary
Animal writing involves the use of animals that have human voices. The writing is strongly shaped by the pastoral. The understanding of nature (and culture) and the mysteries of nature (the natural environment) appear in many writings. They tend to mix the scientific aspect of nature with the romantic aspect. Many times, they travel into places that are unfamiliar sort of as the last remnants of natural order. Henry david thoreau (1817-1862) was a naturalist writer. It is about his experiment in the natural world (though this is slightly misleading because he was not in the great outdoors the entire time. He was able to go home form time to time). He was also involved in the smuggling of slaves. Susannah moodie (1803-1885) wrote roughing it in the bush . This was different from thoreau"s experience because it his was shielded from actual experience. Sarah orne jewett (1849-1909) was interested in the place of maine.
