Cet ouvrage est consacré aux littoraux de la façade atlantique de l'Union européenne. Du Danemark au Portugal, les côtes basses, marais, vasières, estuaires, occupent une large proportion du linéaire côtier. L'homme s'est efforcé de les conquérir dès le Moyen Âge, construisant partout digues, fossés, canaux de drainage, polders agricoles ou marais salants. La défense contre la mer, l'assèchement des terres humides, la mise en valeur halieutique, agricole ou industrielle, des marais et des polders, représentent en effet une page essentielle de l'histoire du vieux continent. Pourtant, ce long mouvement de domination de la nature n'est-il pas arrivé à son terme ? Cette question est plus que jamais d'actualité, dans un contexte de réforme de l'agriculture européenne et sous l'effet d'une plus grande conscience environnementale. Des débats opposent aujourd'hui aménageurs et partisans de la conservation ou d'une exploitation plus raisonnée de ces marais maritimes. Du nord au sud de l'Europe, avec des décalages chronologiques et des nuances culturelles fortes, de nouveaux modes d'aménagement des marais atlantiques sont en train d'éclore. Ainsi, des expériences de développement local et régional tournées vers le tourisme de nature, la valorisation du patrimoine écologique et historique ou la reconversion agri-environnenentale s'y multiplient.

In classical terms the georgic celebrates the working landscape, cultivated to become fruitful and prosperous, in contrast to the idealized or fanciful landscapes of the pastoral. 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.
