What Might It Mean, Existentially And Spiritually, For Humans To Form An Intimate Relation With Particular Sites Or Dwelling Places On Earth? In Ancient Rome, The Notion Of A Locale'S Genius Loci Signaled Recognition Of Its Enchanted, Enspirited Identity. But In A Digitalized America Of Unprecedented Mobility Can Place Still Matter As Seed Ground For The Soul? Such Questions Have Been Broached By Ecocritics Concerned With How Placeinflected Experience Figures In Literature, And By Theologians Concerned With Ecotheology And Ecospirituality. This Book Offers A Uniquely Integrative Perspective, Informed By A Theological Phenomenology Of Place That Takes Fuller Account Of The Spiritualities Associated With Built Environments Than Ecocriticism Typically Does.Spirits Of Place Blends Theological And Cultural Analysis With Personal Reflection, While Focusing On The Multilayered Witness Presented By American Literature. John Gatta'S Interpretive Readings Range Across Texts By An Array Of Canonical As Well As Lesserknown Writers. Along The Way, It Addresses Such Themes As The Religious Implications Of Localism Vs. Globalism; The Diverse Spiritualities Associated With Longterm Residency, Resettlement, And Pilgrimage; Why Some Sites Seem More Hallowed Than Others; And How The Creative Spirit Of Imagination Figures In Placeidentified Perceptions Of The Numinous. Whether In Christian Or Other Religious Terms, No Discrete Place Matters Absolutely. Yet This Study Demonstrates How And Why Hallowed Geography And The Sacramentality Of Place Have Mattered Throughout Our Cultural History.
