Drawing on the latest debates in ecocritical theory and
sustainability studies, Literature as Cultural Ecology: Sustainable
Texts outlines a new approach to the reading of literary texts.
Hubert Zapf considers the ways in which literature operates as a
form of cultural ecology, using language, imagination and critique
to challenge and transform cultural narratives of humanity's
relationship to nature. In this way, the book demonstrates the
important role that literature plays in creating a more sustainable
way of life. Applying this approach to works by writers such as
Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, William
Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Zakes Mda, and Amitav Ghosh, Literature as
Cultural Ecology is an essential contribution to the contemporary
environmental humanities.
