Renascent Nature in the Ruins: Joachim du Bellay’s Antiquitez de Rome
Joachim du Bellay’s Les Antiquitez de Rome (1558) is traditionally read
as a text about human-made culture: the grandeur and ruin of Rome.
Nevertheless, through a moral condemnation of imperial Rome’s pride and
its violent origins, Du Bellay describes the effects Rome’s fall had on the
nonhuman landscape, thus inviting a re-evaluation of the relation between
humans and nonhuman nature. His juxtaposition of the destructiveness of
history’s blindness to nature with the landscape’s re-emergence from the
ruined remains of Roman culture yields images that challenge us to rethink
conservation in relation to a nature that changes over time, and which is
inseparable from culture and its ruins, while at the same time redefining
the traditional presupposition of what we categorize as ‘nature writing’.
