The collection traces the development of ecocriticism from its origins in European pastoral literature and offers fifteen rigorous but accessible essays on the present state of environmental literary scholarship. Contributions from leading experts in the field probe a range of issues, including the place of the human within nature, ecofeminism and gender, engagements with European philosophy and the biological sciences, critical animal studies, postcolonialism, posthumanism, and climate change. A chronology of key publications and bibliography provide ample resources for further reading, making The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Environment an essential guide for students, teachers, and scholars working in this rapidly developing area of study. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 517 3 $aThe Cambridge Companion to Literature & the Environment 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aEnvironmental literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aEnvironmental literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a809/.9336 702 $aWestling$b Louise Hutchings 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210789203316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Literature and the Environment$92493872 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
