About this title

Synopsis

Ecocriticism is a scholarly approach to literature that is rapidly building momentum and legitimacy because of its usefulness as a means of inquiry into the relationship between human culture and the nonhuman world. This collection of essays suggests ways in which examining connections between literature and the physical environment can enrich the value of literary studies.
