    Extractions: Joseph Wood Krutch Joseph Wood Krutch came to nature writing later in life, after a distinguished career as a drama critic and professor. He was born on November 25, 1893, in Knoxville, Tennessee. From 1924 to 1952, he was the drama critic for the magazine, The Nation. During that time he established his national reputation as a writer who approached his subject from a thoughtful, philosophical perspective. He published many books during this time, including a biography of Henry David Thoreau. Mr. Krutch turned to nature writing after he moved to Arizona in 1950 for health reasons. He discovered and fell in love with the desert. His passion for the desert and all its flora and fauna resulted in The Desert Year (1952), which tells of his first year living in the Sonoran Desert. In the first chapter he says, "There is all the difference in the world between looking at something and living in it." Each chapter is an essay on some aspect of desert life that has touched his life. In a gentle, conversational style he integrates his vast philosophical and artistic knowledge with everyday life in the desert. For example, he connects people such as Kant, Keats, and O’Keeffe to the desert land, plants, and people. The Desert Year won the John Burroughs Medal in 1954.

14. Pantheist Association For Nature Lodestars - Joseph Wood Krutch
    Biographical sketch and book list of nature writer joseph wood krutch from a Pantheist perspective.  
    http://home.utm.net/pan/krutch.htm
    
    Extractions: The Modern Temper (1929) propelled him to fame. The book exuded disillusionment and despair. Krutch described how science replaced religious certainties with rational skepticism, leaving man in a meaningless world. But Krutch later discovered profound meaning in Nature. He became a celebrated nature writer and perhaps the first contemporary conservationists to explicitly embrace Pantheism. Shortly after he wrote The Modern Temper, Krutch read Walden by Henry David Thoreau."There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still," said Thoreau. The ennui-struck professor began to spend weekends in a small town fifty miles outside bustling New York, observing plants and animals. Nature gradually captivated him. He enthusiastically researched and wrote a biography of Thoreau, published in 1948. Inspired by the Concord naturalist, Krutch began to compose his own paeans to Nature. His first book, The Twelve Seasons Following his feelings, Krutch immersed himself in Nature. "The desert became the temple where the former agnostic, now a pantheist, went to worship," observed biographer John Margolis. "With his large straw hat, his baggy trousers, and a shirttail flapping behind him, he traveled countless miles of untrod desert land, always careful not to step upon some small plant struggling to make a life for itself there." When others accompanied him, "he was generous with his considerable knowledge of the desert, but sparing of pantheistic effusions. His meditations on the significance of what he saw were reserved for solitary contemplation, and for his nature writing."

    joseph wood krutch Biography, Book Reviews, and Favorite Quotations of the literary naturalist.  
    http://www.planetaryexploration.net/patriot/krutch.html
    
    Extractions: Biographical Sketch Joseph Wood Krutch was one of America's most distinguished literary naturalists. Irwin Edman once remarked, "Krutch is a sound naturalist in the philosophical rather than the merely botanical and biological sense." He has been equally well known as a teacher, drama critic, biographer, editor, journalist, and public speaker. His 1954 book, The Measure of Man received the National Book Award for non-fiction. Originally pessimistic about the human condition, evidenced by the 1929 publication of The Modern Temper , Krutch eventually regained optimism by discovering Nature and accepting a Pantheist faith, what he called "faith in wildness." It is a shame Krutch is not more widely read today, for his insightful essays about man and nature remain delight. Dr. Krutch (his last name rhymes with "pooch," not "crutch") was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He took his B.A. degree at the University of Tennessee, and his M.A. and Ph.D degrees from Columbia University. He began teaching at Columbia University in 1917. From 1924 until 1950 Dr. Krutch was the drama critic of the

It refuses long to remain consistently one thing or another and it seldom puts us into one mood without violating it soon after. But Art, seeming to have for human dignity a respect which Life consistently lacks, grants us at least our right to sorrow fully and freely when sorrow is called for or to laugh our laugh out when laughter is appropriate. The artist selects and classifies what nature mingles in a hideous confusion and in doing so he is, in one of his many ways, adapting the universe to our minds by presenting it in an order which our emotions can follow.

    Extractions: by Howard Stein '50GSAS Krutch's association with Columbia started in 1915. Soon after arriving to undertake graduate studies in English, he befriended his classmate Van Doren, whose brother Carl was already a faculty member of that department. Carl Van Doren '11GSAS became Krutch's master's thesis supervisor, and Mark, upon receiving his Ph.D. in 1920, joined the faculty at about the same time that Carl added to his Columbia duties the position of literary editor of The Nation magazine. Carl reduced his Columbia teaching to part-time and hired Mark to work on the editorial board of The Nation . This Columbia family added both men's wives to the The Nation editorial board as well and recruited another Columbia graduate, Ludwig Lewisohn '03GSAS, as drama critic in 1919. When Lewisohn resigned in 1924, the board added Krutch to their editorial staff; one of his duties was to take Lewisohn's place as drama critic. That was in the same year that Krutch received his own Ph.D. and had his dissertation published as Comedy and Conscience After the Restoration The Nation played no small part in that enterprise. Therefore, when the department acted on President Butler's suggestion and appointed Krutch, he diligently maintained his connection with
