The Art of the Commonplace · the Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry

This volume features 21 essays by Wendell Berry on agrarianism, agriculture and community. Grouped around five themes - geobiography, an agrarian critique of culture, agrarian fundamentals, agrarian economics and agrarian religion - the essays provide an introduction to the wide range of Berry's work. They also demonstrate that Berry's writing promotes a clearly defined agrarian vision, compelling to those dissatisfied with the stress, anxiety, ill health and destructiveness of media-driven culture.
