<p><span>In </span><span>Wetlands and Western Cultures: Denigration to Conservation</span><span>, Rod Giblett examines the portrayal of wetlands in Western culture and argues for their conservation. Giblett’s analysis of the wetland motif in literature and the arts, including in </span><span>Beowulf</span><span> and the writings of Tolkien and Thoreau, demonstrates two approaches to wetlands—their denigration as dead waters or their commendation as living waters with a potent cultural history.</span></p>
