Ecocriticism on the Edge explores the possibility of a new mode of critical practice, one fully engaged with the destructive force of the planetary environmental crisis. Timothy Clark argues that, in literary and cultural criticism, the "Anthropocene", which names the epoch in which human impacts on the planet's ecological systems reach a dangerous limit, also represents a threshold at which modes of interpretation that once seemed sufficient or progressive become, in this new counterintuitive context, inadequate or even latently destructive. The book includes analyses of literary works, including texts by Paule Marshall, Gary Snyder, Ben Okri, Henry Lawson, Lorrie Moore and Raymond Carver."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEnvironmental policy in literature 606 $aEnvironmental protection in literature 606 $aGlobal environmental change$xSocial aspects 606 $aGlobal environmental change 606 $2Literary theory 615 0$aEnvironmental policy in literature. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection in literature. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 676 $a363.7 676 $a809.933553 700 $aClark$b Timothy$0210062 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824186703321 996 $aEcocriticism on the edge$94000041 997 $aUNINA
