What is nature writing? It is a literary genre embracing essays on the wide range of topics related to nature. The literary term nature writing came into use in the beginning of the twentieth century. It has three dimensions according to Thomas J. Lyon's well-known taxonomy of it: "natural history information, personal responses to nature, and philosophical interpretation of nature." It has an inclination to turn people's attention toward nature and to awaken their awareness of the ways of living with and in nature. The present paper purports to be a comparative analysis of nature writing in the U.S., Japan and Australia tracing the respective growth of each and introducing some of the major works of each.
