In older realistic literature, the narrator of a novel could be thought to be like God: he was able to depict and explain everything from the most diminutive motion of mind to the largest social and political affairs.
Later, in modernistic literature, the main character was drawn in the foreground; thus, all that happened in the novel took place within his mind.
Since then, literature has been held in great esteem: it is thought to express something important that is common to the whole nation.

 American Georgics | Sweet, Timothy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
By extending our understanding of what counts as environmental literature back before Thoreau, who is popularly taken to be its originator, Sweet shows that early texts, while not necessarily "green" in contemporary terms, can offer important insights into our relationship to the environment.
Arguing that economic considerations must become central to any understanding of the human community's engagement with the natural environment, Timothy Sweet identifies a distinct literary mode he calls the American georgic.
Offering a fresh approach to ecocritical and environmentally-oriented literary studies, Sweet traces the history of the American georgic from its origins in late sixteenth-century English literature promoting the colonization of the Americas through the mid-nineteenth century, ending with George Perkins Marsh's Man and Nature (1864), the foundational text in the conservationist movement.
