The Oxford Handbook of Ecocriticism will provide a broad survey of
the longstanding relationship between literature and the
environment. The moment for such an offering is opportune in many
respects: multiple environmental crises are increasingly
inescapable at both transnational and local levels; the role of the
humanities in addition to technology and politics is increasingly
recognized as central for exploring and finding solutions; and the
subject of ecocriticism has reached a kind of critical mass, both
within its Anglo-American heartlands and beyond. From its origins
in the study of American Nature Writing and British Romanticism,
ecocriticism has developed along numerous theoretical, historical,
cultural and geographical axes, the most contemporary and exciting
of which will be represented in the Handbook. The contributors
include eminent founders of the field, including Cheryll Glotfelty
and Jonathan Bate, a number of key 'second-wave' ecocritics, and
the best up-and-coming scholars. Topics covered include: Green
Shakespeare-the Bard's subversive uses of the pastoral; John
Clare's sacred relationship with the land; Thoreau's profound
political passion; the natural landscape as symbol of postcolonial
resistance in works by Lessing, Naipaul, and Coetzee; the relation
between feminism and environmentalism; language and the concept of
biosemiotics; and concerns over pollution and toxicity in films
like Erin Brockovitch, Michael Clayton, and Al Gore's An
Inconvenient Truth.
