ISBN: 9780190646547 出版年：2018 页码：297 Gatta, John Oxford University Press

What might it mean, existentially and spiritually, to form an intimate relation with discrete sites or dwelling places on earth? This book offers a uniquely integrative perspective on the matter. Blending theological and cultural analysis, it focuses on the multi-layered witness enshrined in American literary texts and demonstrates that hallowed geography and the sacramentality of place have mattered throughout our history.
