Keller Estes, Andrew. Cormac Mccarthy and the writing of American spaces [electronic resource] / Andrew Keller Estes. Amsterdam ; New York : Rodopi, 2013. 1 online resource (233 p.) text txt computer c online resource cr Spatial practices : an interdisciplinary series in cultural history, geography and literature, 1871-689X ; 16 English Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich. Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- Environmental Criticism and Cormac McCarthy -- A Debate in American Literature: The Nature of U.S. Spaces -- McCarthy Criticism -- Blood Meridian -- All the Pretty Horses -- The Crossing -- No Country for Old Men -- The Road -- Conclusion -- Works Cited -- Index. In Cormac McCarthy and the Writing of American Spaces Andrew Estes examines ideas about the land as they emerge in the later fiction of this important contemporary author. McCarthy's texts are shown to be part of larger narratives about American environments. Against the backdrop of the emerging discipline of environmental criticism, Estes investigates the way space has been constructed in U.S. American writing. Cormac McCarthy is found to be heir to diametrically opposed concepts of space: as something Americans embraced as either overwhelmingly positive and reinvigorating or as rather negative and threatening. McCarthy's texts both replicate this binary thinking about American environments and challenge readers to reconceive traditional ways of seeing space. Breaking new ground as to how literary landscapes and spaces are critically assessed this study seeks to examine the many detailed descriptions of the physical world in McCarthy on their own terms. Adding to so-called 'second wave' environmental criticism, it reaches beyond an earlier, limited understanding of the environment as 'nature' to consider both natural landscapes and built environments. Chapter one discusses the field of environmental criticism in reference to McCarthy while chapter two offers a brief narrative of conceptions of space in the U.S. Chapter three highlights trends in McCarthy criticism. Chapters four through eight provide close readings of McCarthy's later novels, from Blood Meridian to The Road . Includes bibliographical references and index.
