However, whilst the literary-critical community has advanced enthusiastically on an exciting range of environmentally-based analyses (most obviously through the work of ecocriticism), its response specifically to sustainability?as an attempt to reconceptualise the way we live, as an idea with a particular history, and as a ubiquitous term driven through over-use to near meaninglessness?has been extremely limited. The basic idea of the volume is to make a start on filling this gap. Split into four sections: Historicising sustainability, Discourses of sustainability, The sustainability of literature, Sustainability in literature ? it has some very good contributors, and starts off with an introduction about the history of the term, looks at its beginnings in the C19th, and goes onto show how contemporary authors are dealing with it including Jeanette Winterson, Michel Houellebecq, Margaret Atwood and Amitav Ghosh. 606 $aEnvironmental literature$xHistory and criticism. 606 $aEnvironmentalism in literature 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterature: History & Criticism$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / General$2bisach 606 $aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology$2thema 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aLiterature 610 $aSustainability 610 $aEnvironmentalism 610 $aHistory 610 $aLiteracy Criticism 610 $aThorium 615 0$aEnvironmental literature$xHistory and criticism.. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterature: History & Criticism 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / General 615 7$aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology 676 $a823.0093553 700 $aJohns-Putra$b Adeline$4auth$01346251 702 $aSquire$b Louise 702 $aParham$b John 702 $aJohns-Putra$b Adeline$f1973- 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219863803321 996 $aLiterature and sustainability$93073681 997 $aUNINA
