Kammen explores the artistic motif of the four seasons, paying particular attention to distinctly American manifestations. He offers an intellectual history of this idiom and investigates its expression in the fine arts, writing, & material culture as seen in work from Henry David Thoreau, Annie Dillard, Rachel Carson, Norman Rockwell, Marc Chagall, even in seed catalogs and the art of school children.
