Description
This volume of critical essays provides the first major guide to
ecology, environment and nature in literary modernism. It explores the
environmental turn and green consciousness in modernist criticism and broadens
the boundaries and scope of current ecocritical enquiry. In drawing together
contributions from leading and emerging scholars from across the UK and America,
Eco-Modernism offers a diverse
range of environmental and ecological interpretations of modernist texts and illustrates
that ecocriticism can offer fresh and provocative ways of understanding literary
modernism. In the rapidly burgeoning field of environmental studies, it will
serve as a vital touchstone for scholars and students alike to explore the
major areas and crucial themes in ecocritical modernism.
