Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, and Ali Smith share an
ecological philosophy of the world as one highly interconnected
entity comprised of multiple and equal, human and non-human
participants. This study argues that these writers' ecocentric
views find expression through their literary forms and that their
texts have an ecological significance in fostering respect for and
understanding of difference, human and nonhuman. Beginning with
Woolf's work, these writers abandon the hegemonic master narrative
and instead practice pluralistic, democratic, and non-authoritarian
forms that are consistent with feminist ecology and erode
patriarchal domination. Their texts have a world-transforming
potential as they offer formal models that overcome dualistic
thinking and unsettle traditional binaries. The value
transformation they encourage is an indispensible groundwork for
the new environmental philosophy and a prerequisite to progressive
action and change.
