Niel Evernden's essay (included in this anthology) completely changed the trajectory of the course I taught on ecocriticsm. The concept of "interconnectedness" and Evernden's metaphor of the fish in his environment gave my students a suitably complex yet direct mechanism by which to understand what ecocriticsm does, and what its object/objective is. The other articles included in the book are useful as well -- William Reuckert and William Howarth we also read in class, and I found the Bakhtinian analysis of place included at the end of the book to be very useful to my own research -- and in general it is a masterful collection of the fundamentals of ecocriticism as a literary/political analytical stance. I would have my students purchase this as their accompanying text, should I teach the ecocriticsm class again, and would probably have them read at least 60% of the articles included. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The Ecocriticism Reader is the first collection of its kind, an anthology of classic and cutting-edge writings in the rapidly emerging field of literary ecology. Exploring the relationship between literature and the physical environment, literary ecology is the study of the ways that writing--from novels and folktales to U.S. government reports and corporate advertisements--both reflects and influences our interactions with the natural world. The Ecocriticism Reader is an introduction to the field as well as a source book. It defines ecological literary discourse, sketches its development over the past quarter-century, provides generally appealing and lucidly written examples of the range of ecological approaches to literature, and offers direction for further study through lists of recommended readings, relevant periodicals, and professional organizations.
