This books presents the first extended study of the relationship
between British modernist poetry and the environment. Challenging
reductive associations of modernism as predominantly
anthropocentric in character and urban in focus, the book's central
argument is that within British modernist poetry there is a clear
and sustained interest in the natural world which has yet to
receive adequate critical attention. Whilst modernist studies
continues to emphasize the plurality of the movement and the
breadth of voices and concerns within it, the environmental
consciousness of modernist literature and its response to changes
to human/nature relations following the experience of war and
modernity remain largely unexamined. Exploring British modernist
poetry from an ecocritical perspective offers a fresh approach to
the movement and its context, and produces original readings of
both canonical and more marginalized modernist voices. This book
opens by discussing the relationship between modernism and
ecocriticism and the benefits of creating a dialogue between the
two. It then presents new readings of Edward Thomas, T. S. Eliot,
Edith Sitwell, and Charlotte Mew that reveal a shared preoccupation
with environmental issues and a common desire to find new ways of
achieving physical, psychological, and artistic reconnection with
nature. Building on the continuing growth of ecocriticism, this
book demonstrates how green approaches to modernist studies can
produce new insights into both individual poets and the modernist
movement as a whole, making it an essential resource for students
of modernism, ecocriticism, and early-twentieth-century literature.
