She dramatizes Western culture's own awareness of the instability of the binary of nature and culture, making a timely intervention in the ongoing culture-nature debate, bridging the gap between cultural theory and biologically grounded research.BildungsromansHistory and criticismEcology in literatureNature in literatureBildungsromansHistory and criticism.Ecology in literature.Nature in literature.809.3/9353Feder Helena1871400MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968893503321Ecocriticism and the idea of culture4480217UNINA
