dc.description.abstractThis paper examines how our perception of nature constructs it as a psychological space. Analyzing nature writing and narratives from the 19th to the 21st century, there is also a way in which nature is a gendered space, as writers continue to refer to nature as woman, and expect a gratifying relationship with it. Ultimately, this paper seeks to find a better way to view nature and to be more aware of how our perceptions shape our treatment of it, other people, and ourselves.
