The volume offers a survey of the contribution of German literature
and culture to the evolution of ecological thought. As the field of
ecocritical theory and practice is rapidly expanding towards
transnational and global dimensions, it seems nevertheless
necessary to consider the distinct manifestations of ecological
thought in various cultures. In this sense, the volume demonstrates
in twenty-six essays from different disciplines how German
literature, philosophy, art, and science have contributed in unique
ways to the emergence of ecological thought on national and
transnational scale. The volume maps the most important and
characteristic of these developments both on a theoretical and on a
textual-analytical level. It is structured in five parts ranging
from proto-ecological thought since early modern times (part I) to
major theoretical approaches (part II), environmental history (part
III), and ecocritical case studies (part IV), to ecological visions
in different media and art forms (part V). The four editors have
widely published and are actively involved in ecocritical literary
and cultural studies. The group of editors consists of two scholars
of German literature and cultural studies, Gabriele Duerbeck and
Urte Stobbe (both University of Vechta), a scholar in German and
comparative literature, Evi Zemanek (University of Freiburg), as
well as a scholar of Anglo-American ecoliterature and ecocriticism,
Hubert Zapf. All of them are involved in various projects and
research networks on ecology and literature. The contributors of
the individual chapters likewise are all experts in their
respective fields, ranging from German literature, history,
environmental studies, art history, music and art. The book is a
unique and readily accessible collection of essays that is of
relevance not only for a German and continental European but for a
worldwide audience.
