The Fusion of Human Love and Love of the Land –
A Transcended Renewal in Willa Cather’s O Pioneer!

Mrs. Bharthi. B., Ph.D. Research Scholar


Abstract

Writers play an important role in the environmental movement, indirectly by promoting a vision of life in harmony with nature, and directly by inspiring action to preserve landscapes and ecosystems. The sacred quality of places enables individuals to make intimate contact with the wild world and in turn with the wild self. The conservation of nature requires a respectful attitude towards place and landscape. The land is seen as a community to which people belong, and naturally it is used with love and respect.

Keywords: prairie, pioneers, land, divides, Willa Cather

Introduction

Like nations, regions exist as combinations of geographical fact and historically determined, culturally bound perceptions. All regions have de?ning myths or symbolic identities. Midwestern writers have tended to dwell on picturesque qualities in the quieter landscape, less dramatic beauty, resulting from subtle irregularities and the juxtaposition of human and natural elements. Even when they have been harshly critical of the region’s culture, Midwestern writers have written lovingly of its landscape and unique places. Willa Cather has justified herself as a regional writer by concentrating on the theme of feeling one with the land in the novel O Pioneers!
