Today that fascination is often expressed in what is now called 'green' terms, reflecting concerns about the non-human natural world, puzzlement about how we relate to it, and anxiety about what we, as humans, are doing to it. So called green or eco-criticism acknowledges this concern.Greenery reaches back and offers new readings of English texts, both known and unfamiliar, informed by eco-criticism. After considering general issues pertaining to green criticism, Greenery moves on to a series of individual chapters arranged by theme (earth, trees, wilds, sea, gardens and fields) which provide individual close readings of selections from such familiar texts as Malory's Morte D'Arthur, Chaucer's Knight's and Franklin's Tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Langland's Piers Plowman. These discussions are contextualized by considering them alongside hitherto marginalized texts such as lyrics, Patience and the romance Sir Orfeo. The result is a study which reinvigorates our customary reading of late Middle English literary texts while also allows us to reflect upon the vibrant new school of eco-criticism itself. 410 0$aManchester Medieval Literature and Culture 606 $aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval$2thema 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aNature in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01034680 606 $aEnglish literature$xMiddle English$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01710961 606 $aEcocriticism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901428 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval$2bisach 606 $aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval$2bicssc 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNature in literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $bElectronic books 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xMiddle English. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval. 615 0$aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a820.9001 676 $a820.9360902 700 $aRudd$b Gillian$01056712 712 02$aManchester University Press, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465625803321 996 $aGreenery$92491276 997 $aUNINA
