520 _aSeventeenth-century studies are scarce in environmental history, a field that tends to concentrate on the contemporary period and has a presentist definition of ecological issues. Yet this overall picture belies the fact that reference to the seventeenth century played a key role in founding this domain when it emerged as a new approach in the US. Starting from William Cronon’s Changes in the Land (1983), the first bestseller in the history of environmental literature, this article then turns to the political and ecological perspective of environmental history, as well as its poetics, structured around the tension between an eschatology of space, a natural history of places, and historicized nature.
