Abstract
This paper discusses the landscape of southern Ontario and its history over the last fifty years. The paper notes that over this period, all of the forests in the region have been managed through sustainable management practices. These practices allow for the commercial development of the forests in a way that produces products but does not destroy the forests, sustaining the natural habitat and making it more accessible to the public.
From the Paper
"The landscape of Southern Ontario matches most of Ontario in that it is forested, in this case by deciduous trees. Over the past fifty years, all of the forests have been managed through sustainable management practices to allow for the commercial development of the forests in a way that produces products but does not destroy the forests. The southern region is the most densely populated area of the province, home to more than 90 percent of the ten million people in the province. Because of this, the area has been cleared to a great extent, first by early settlers who wanted to use the rich soil and moderate climate for crops."

Abstract
This paper discusses the changing political landscape in Ontario, arguing that the increased instability in Provincial Politics is caused by three specific reasons. The paper then expands on this idea and lists the three reasons as being the inability to keep promises, the image of policy and the move toward neo-liberalism.
From the Paper
" Stability would seem to be the best word to describe party politics and governmental structure in Ontario for many decades. From the time of confederation (1867) to 1985 elected parties could expect to be re-elected at least once if not numerous times. For example, the Liberal Party of Ontario governed Ontario from 1871-1905 (34 years) and from 1934 to 1943(9 years). Likewise, the Progressive Conservative governed Ontario from 1943 to 1985 (42 years). However, in 1985 the period of stability ended. 1985 saw two consecutive governments formed in a single year. "

Abstract
In Chinese art and literature the representation of landscapes is frequently encountered. Over centuries, artists and poets have devised complex grammars that govern their depiction of the natural world. This paper will explore these grammars with respect to works by Xie Ling-yun, China's premier early landscape poet and Fan K'uan, one of the greatest of all Chinese landscape painters. Two respective works of this poet and painter will be discussed in order to demonstrate two singularly different approaches to the idea of the artistic representation of landscape.

The Rules of Landscape Painting and the Poetic Practice of Xie Ling-Yun, 2002.
A review of Xie Ling-Yun's poem "Visiting the Southern Pavilion" in light of the generic rules of landscape painting.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the representation of the natural landscape in Xie Ling-yun's poem "Visiting the Southern Pavilion". It will be shown, through a comparative analysis of Chinese texts on landscape painting, that Xie Ling-yun's poem plays with, and is juxtaposed against, the generic rules of landscape painting. The poetic landscape, which appears to be a celebration of the beauty of summer, is actually a reflection upon mortality and suffering. From this perspective, Xie Ling-yun's poem may be seen to have philosophical depth lacking in most landscape painting.

Abstract
The paper indicates the advantages of the subfield of landscape geography that is distinct from other sub-disciplines, discussing two Ontario examples that reveal how landscapes can shape more than one culture according to human relationships. The paper presents research/fieldwork towards inner city Toronto's landscape shaping 'homeless' culture and also how the Muskoka landscape influences local and visiting cultures. The paper examines how it is the same landscape but different phenomena, due to use/economic interaction with an environment.
From the Paper
"The study of landscape geography has involved a long struggle to distinguish its subject matter and approaches from those of physical geography. Landscape geographers make much not of local details within phenomena, but towards a good deal of theory to do with both a landscape's influence on culture and the aesthetics of geography. In some respects, landscape geography is like the study of ecology in attention to soil types, vegetation and the effects of land formations or waterways. There is much in common with fields of historical and human geography, too, in the attention given habitation, patterns of settlement or how local cultures have been influenced by terrain and climate."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth discussion on the use of landscape description in two novels: "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy. It focuses on the symbolic use of landscape, the position of man in the natural world and the effect that Darwin's theory had on the attitude towards nature and the effect that this had on Victorian writers. It shows how both Hardy and Emily Bronte found inspiration in their native landscape; Hardy from Dorset and Emily Bronte from the Yorkshire moors and how both novelists based their landscape descriptions either partially or wholly on their native region.
From the Paper
"Hardy features prominently as one of our great visualizers; he is a landscape novelist, and his descriptive passages are central to his fiction. He brings poetic techniques to his fiction, and writes using symbols and images. In Hardy, the sense of time and place is very strong. George Sampson points out that the landscape descriptions in Hardy?s novels take on more significance than do his characters: ?The most impressive character in his novels is not a person, but a place? Indeed, nature is frequently personified and given individuality in Hardy?s novels. Trees have ?inquisitive eyes? , the river speaks as though it were human: ?the river says, - ?why do ye trouble me with your looks?? , and the ?rhubarb and cabbage plants slept? ."

People and Landscape, 2002.
Questions the relationship between people and landscape.

Abstract
It is on this second level that this essay will be addressing the question of the relationship between people and landscape. It will be argued that the landscape serves human societies, in a sense, as a mirror that reflects our own values, prejudices and beliefs. As will be seen, this view of the landscape carries significant risks for both humans and the ecosystem as it often obscures our perception of the realities of the environment of which we are a part.

Landscape and Nation in Literature, 2002.
Examines the relationship between landscape and aation in Bronte's "Jane Eyre" and Milton's "Paradise Lost".

Abstract
In literature, landscape and nation can be reflections of the owner, of the prevailing level of spiritual or figurative health of the owner or community and are direct connections between the characters and the society in which they live. Two works, Milton's "Paradise Lost", and Bronte's "Jane Eyre", employ landscape as a reflection of the characters. Social movements of pre-industrial England, were to shy away from the press of the urban areas, to describe them in terms of stark limitations where the soul could not grow - literally and figuratively. In the countryside, however, there is both beauty and isolation that symbolize a person's soul and path in life. Nation is used in literature to imply the unifying precepts upon which a life is built but it is also used at times as a symbol of imperialism. Nation is the archetype that guides all behaviors and makes all behaviors variations on their theme it is also that which justifies the manipulation of the land - nation is Manifest Destiny. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the relationship between landscape and nation in "Jane Eyre" and "Paradise Lost".

Landscape in "Last of the Mohicans", 2006.
This paper discusses the landscape vividly described in James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel, "The Last of the Mohicans."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer of this paper details why the landscape in this novel is a central character and is described in spiritual terms rather than physical ones. There is an emotional tone of foreboding and the landscape is always described in terms that dwarf the actual characters in the book. The paper shows how the author opts for the factual when describing the landscape, and delves into the mythic symbolism that can be found in certain descriptive passages.
From the Paper
"These descriptions are in keeping with the nature of a frontier as the area where things come together with their conflicting forces. The force of the colonists is to tame the frontier. The force of the indigenous natives is to keep it as it is. The landscape of the frontier itself becomes symbolic of both groups of characters in opposition to each other. In this way it actually becomes a personification of each."

Stuart Davis's "Landscape with Garage Lights", 2003.
An analysis of modern painter Stuart Davis's "Landscape with Garage Lights" in an historical context.

Abstract
This paper examines how, while much of art progressed toward abstraction in the early part of the twentieth century, Regionalist painting continued relatively the same. One artist, Stuart Davis, spear-headed the movement to paint the American scene in a imaginative new way. It looks at how one of his works, "Landscape with Garage Lights," is a prime example of this progression of art and how it proved to be a new benchmark in Regionalist painting. It also shows how, by rejecting earlier traditionalist beliefs and embracing modern influences, he comments on the urban American life with abstract forms and highly saturated colors, creating a truly unique and upbeat work of art.
From the Paper
"Matisse and the emergence of jazz also influenced Davis. Matisse helped pioneer the use of highly saturated colors in his works, and this concept did not go unnoticed by Davis. Although these saturated colors did not truly represent any real landscape, that did not stop Davis from making use of them. In Landscape with Garage Lights there are strong reds, oranges, blues, and greens. Every color seems to be of the variety that a child could easily pull out of his/her small box of Crayola crayons. However, this assortment of primary colors causes the work to evoke an upbeat response. This upbeat response can be compared to the rise of jazz music during the period. Jazz was a new, experimental, and colorful way to write and play music."

Abstract
This brief essay explores the past 50 year history of the landscape between Mississauga and the Niagara Escarpment. Of particular interest is the introduction of land use planning restrictions established to quell the pit quarrying and aggregate operations who by 1962 had begun blasting into the brow of the escarpment; forever scaring the natural environment.
From the Paper
"The landscape between the University of Toronto Mississauga campus and the Niagara escarpment has changed dramatically over the past 50 years. Much of this change is the result of two distinct elements; progress in the form of growing aggregate companies meeting regulation in the form of the implementation of the "Niagara Escarpment Plan" ("Niagara Escarpment Plan")."

John Berryman?s Poem ?Winter Landscape?, 2005.
A paper examining the "shape" of John Berryman's poem "Winter Landscape".

Abstract
This paper explicates "Winter Landscape" line by line, examining the construction of the poem - how it moves through the story - and Berryman's use of imagery and repetition to explore themes of human history and ultimately death.
From the Paper
"In addition to choices of form and meter, there are also decisions to be made as to the shape of a poem. Is there a linear progression through the piece as in Coleridge's Lime Tree Bower? Is the poem modular with each unit or strophe capable of standing alone as in Stevens' Blackbird? At first reading, John Berryman's "Winter Landscape," an ekphrastic work based on Breughel's painting "Hunters in the Snow," appears to be linear with three men returning to a village after a hunting expedition. However, through the repetition of images, Berryman turns the poem back on itself into a circle, a move which provides the reader with the clear progression afforded by a linear journey but also with a sense of satisfaction and completion through this final circular transit."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of landscape gardening from an art history perspective.
From the Paper
"Landscape gardening is an art form that is often used to compliment the architecture of buildings and to provide outdoor spaces for individual and public benefit and pleasure. Andrew Jackson Downing helped pave the way for landscape gardening in American society when he established a number of nurseries and began designing landscape gardens along the Hudson River above New York City. As one historian notes, no American has built for himself a more permanent monument than Downing the landscape gardener (Elliott)."

Abstract
This paper answers several questions about gardens and landscape architecture, beginning with the mythology of the Garden of Eden, which is depicted as nature and human life in an unsullied form, not yet marked by sin and with the different species living in complete harmony. According to this paper, it is harmony that is the hallmark of the garden at this stage, and the garden in Western culture is often seen as a locale to which the individual can return to capture some of that sense of a connection to the natural world and a link to God.
From the Paper

In Christian mythology, Sin is the daughter of Satan, but she will also bear him a son, Death."
