In his 1995 essay “The Trouble with Wilderness,” William Cronon declares that “the time has come to rethink wilderness” (69). From the practice of agriculture to masculine frontier fantasies, Cronon argues that Americans have historically defined wilderness as an “island,” separate from their polluted urban industrial homes (69). He traces the idea of wilderness throughout American history, asserting that the idea of untouched, pristine wilderness is a harmful fantasy. By idealizing wilderness from a distance, he argues that people justify the destruction of less sublime landscapes and aggravate environmental conflict.

Robert had asked his mother for Mr. Shelley’s atheistical poem Queen Mab when he was fourteen (Religious Views). He had frightened his mother when he had confirmed his mother’s worst fear. He had become just like Percy Bysshe Shelley, an atheist and a vegetarian.
Thesis Human life, according to Montaigne, does not fit a standard mode of operation, and people should be free to express their thoughts. Why it took so long to come to fruition could be contributed to the inconsistency Charles Trinkaus was so concerned with in his In Our Image and Likeness. What he was saying is that humanists failed to see the forest for the trees because they too were part of a world in which the unfair treatment of human beings was the norm. Humanists during the Renaissance were apt to expand upon the idea that human beings were worth something more than many dogmatic ideas of the 15th and 16th Century would normally condemn them to. Most people lived lives of quiet desperation during this time in history; common people, mostly serfs or slaves that worked long hours for low pay (if for any money at all) and died in the dirt, forgotten.
