- Annotation
- Considers America s cultural fixation on apocalypse in the face of material change, drawing connections between apocalyptic and millennialist thinking. Briefly discusses The Big Two-Hearted River within the context of Thoreau s survivalist text, Walden (1854), noting similarities with physical description and experiential perspective. Draws attention to Nick s use of the opposing adjectives good and tragic in relation to humankind s apocalyptic condition.
