Abstract/ Summary

This article explores differences and similarities in approaches to environmental history in Canada and the United States. It begins by assessing the historiographical and political traditions that influenced the growth of environmental history in America in the 1970s, and then compares these traditions to similar trends in Canada, asking the question: are the basic premises of environmental history, as they developed in the U.S., appropriate to the Canadian national experience? The article then assesses similar ways of exploring reciprocal relations between society and nature in a single cross-border area: a bioregion consisting of Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces to the North, and New England and New York to the South. Here we find that scholarly traditions on both sides of the border have something new to contribute to the larger study of environmental history.
