Scott Hess, Professor of English at Earlham College, is the author of William Wordsworth and the Ecology of Authorship: The Roots of Environmentalism in Nineteenth-Century Culture (2012). His essay “Cedar Hill: Frederick Douglass's Literary Landscape and the Racial Construction of Nature” was published in American Literature in 2021, and “Walden Pond as Thoreau’s Landscape of Genius” appeared in Nineteenth-Century Literature in 2019. He is currently at work on a book project, tentatively entitled “Landscapes of Genius: Author, Nature, Nation and the Transatlantic Nineteenth-Century Origins of Environmentalism,” which explores how the “genius” of nineteenth-century British and American authors became associated with specific natural landscapes in ways that shaped modern ideas of nature and the development of the environmental movement.
