The degrading environment of the planet is something that touches
everyone. This 2011 book offers an introductory overview of literary
and cultural criticism that concerns environmental crisis in some
form. Both as a way of reading texts and as a theoretical approach to
culture more generally, 'ecocriticism' is a varied and fast-changing
set of practices which challenges inherited thinking and practice in
the reading of literature and culture. This introduction defines what
ecocriticism is, its methods, arguments and concepts, and will enable
students to look at texts in a wholly new way. Boxed sections explain
key critical terms and contemporary debates in the field with
'hands-on' examples and comparisons. Timothy Clark's thoughtful
approach makes this an ideal first encounter with environmental
readings of literature.
