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, Emile 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.
