Taking as a cue Barry Lopez's distinction between "exterior" and "interior" landscapes---one physical, the other psychological---this dissertation analyzes how contemporary American writers advance and revise the enduring motif of rejuvenation through landscape. Early chapters observe uprooted narrators who front "wilderness" communities in which they have no ancestral predecessors. Memoirs by Anne LaBastille and Rick Bass illustrate the healing attributes of their adopted places, and how those qualities are threatened by human industry. The next two chapters study narratives of rejuvenation set in established settlements. Fictions by Leslie Marmon Silko and Wendell Berry portray individuals recuperating from war trauma and depression by tending the web of kinships within their ancestral regions, revealing kindred attitudes towards agriculture, health care, and education. Toni Morrison's fiction plays on the framework of place-based regeneration while prompting questions: How does one's propensity to be healed hinge upon socioeconomic history? How do African-American narratives of healing compare to canonical American "nature writing," dominated by stories praising the attributes of "wilderness" over festering urban centers? Additional chapters consider how the healing paradigm is complicated in texts featuring sick bodies and bioregions. Cormac McCarthy's fiction explores socioeconomic parameters of healing, vis-a-vis Appalachian environmental history. The final chapter examines how Gretel Ehrlich's memoir of lightning strike and recovery applies the language of geography to human anatomy, complicating such dichotomies as human/nature and civilization/wilderness.
