Exploring the literature of environmental moral dilemmas from the
Hebrew Bible to modern times, this book argues the necessity of
cross-disciplinary approaches to environmental studies, as a
subject affecting everyone, in every aspect of life. Moral dilemmas
are central in the literary genre of protest against the effects of
industry, particularly in Romantic literature and ‘Condition of
England’ novels. Writers from the time of the Industrial
Revolution to the present—including William Blake, Elizabeth
Gaskell, Charles Dickens, Émile Zola, Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov,
T.S. Eliot, John Steinbeck, George Orwell, and J.M.
Coetzee—follow the Bible in seeing environmental problems in
moral terms, as a consequence of human agency. The issues raised by
these and other writers—including damage to the environment and
its effects on health and quality of life, particularly on the
poor; economic conflicts of interest; water and air pollution,
deforestation, and the environmental effects of war—are
fundamentally the same today, making their works a continual source
of interest and insight. Sketching a brief literary history on the
impact of human behavior on the environment, this volume will be of
interest to readers researching environmental studies, literary
studies, religious studies and international development, as well
as a useful resource to scientists and readers of the Arts.
