The New Nature Writing: Rethinking Place in Contemporary Literature offers the first critical study of the genre. Drawing on original interviews with authors, archival research, and the latest scholarly work in the fields of literary geographies, critical localism and archipelagic criticism, the book covers the work of such writers as Robert MacFarlane, Richard Mabey and Alice Oswald. Examining the ways in which these writers have engaged with a wide range of different environments, from the edgelands to island spaces, Jos Smith reveals how they recreate a resourceful and dynamic sense of localism in rebellion against the homogenising growth of 'clone town Britain.'"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aEnvironmental cultures series. 606 $aBioregionalism in literature 606 $aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aNatural history literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aNatural history$zGreat Britain$xAuthorship 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aPlace (Philosophy) in literature 615 0$aBioregionalism in literature. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aNatural history literature 615 0$aNatural history$xAuthorship. 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aPlace (Philosophy) in literature. 676 $a508.41 686 $aLIT004120$aLIT007000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Jos$f1980-$01173347 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910529193903321 996 $aThe new nature writing$92728829 997 $aUNINA
