| Research Abstract |
Considering the global influence of American environmental literature on the transformation of natural representation, this study examines the relationship between landscape construction and racial sub consciousness in H. D. Thoreau and Edgar A. Poe. Also it examines the contemporary women environmental literature writers affected by the theme of pollution, and finds out they are accompanied by the representation of body in the late 20th and early 21st century. Outcomes of this study are culminated in co-authored four books and several papers as well as the presentations at several times including ones at the two international conferences.
