Ecocriticism has emerged as one of the most fascinating and rapidly
growing fields of recent literary and cultural studies. From its
regional origins in late-twentieth-century Anglo-American academia,
it has become a worldwide phenomenon, which involves a decidedly
transdisciplinary and transnational paradigm that promises to
return a new sense of relevance to research and teaching in the
humanities. A distinctive feature of the present handbook in
comparison with other survey volumes is the combination of
ecocriticism with cultural ecology, reflecting an emphasis on the
cultural transformation of ecological processes and on the crucial
role of literature, art, and other forms of cultural creativity for
the evolution of societies towards sustainable futures. In
state-of-the-art contributions by leading international scholars in
the field, this handbook maps some of the most important
developments in contemporary ecocritical thought. It introduces key
theoretical concepts, issues, and directions of ecocriticism and
cultural ecology and demonstrates their relevance for the analysis
of texts and other cultural phenomena.
