One critical ? and crucial ? outcome of this state of affairs is the realization that artistic and literary representations of Nature and the environment need to be studied ever more closely if we are to adequately understand our relationship with our habitat and the impact we have had, and continue to have, on our planet. This volume features seventeen articles from French and international scholars covering a wide range of genres, from eighteenth-century travel writers to contemporary poets, playwrights and novelists. The essays consider Nature and the environment in their relationship to men and women and question how mankind is set to evolve in a contemporary world that is increasingly perceived as posthuman. They show how these concepts have affected Scottish authors and literature produced in Scotland. Presented chronologically, the essays highlight how each of the authors featured may have influenced the ensuing literary tradition. While the first section focuses on eighteenth and nineteenth century Scottish poets, novelists, artists or travel-writers, the second turns its attention to twentieth and twenty-first century authors, with an emphasis on modern and postmodern considerations, including the future of the human species from a posthuman perspective. The collection is particularly noteworthy for its showcasing of previously unpublished material and stands as a significant contribution to arts research in ecocriticism and in the Scottish artistic and literary fields. 606 $aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aScotland$vIn literature 610 $aenvironment 610 $aliterature 610 $aindustrial society 610 $anature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aScotland 700 $aAliaga Lavrijsen$b Jessica$01325864 701 $aAmblard$b Marion$01281508 701 $aAuer$b Christian$01281509 701 $aBerton$b Jean$01281511 701 $aBerton-Charrière$b Danièle$01296828 701 $aBesson$b Cyril$01325865 701 $aBisson$b Sarah$01314353 701 $aDuchateau$b Béatrice$01325866 701 $aLaplace$b Philippe$01296835 701 $aMacKenzie$b Robin M. J$01325867 701 $aManfredi$b Camille$01224771 701 $aMckim$b Anne$01296823 701 $aRiach$b Alan$01306730 701 $aSmith$b Stewart$0409087 701 $aSteel$b David I. A$01325868 701 $aSzuba$b Monika$01325869 701 $aTholoniat$b Yann$01308529 701 $aWelstead$b William$01296825 701 $aLaplace$b Philippe$01296835 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495937603321 996 $aEnvironmental and ecological readings$93037073 997 $aUNINA
