Ecocriticism has steadily gained footing within the larger arena of
early modern scholarship, and with the publication of well over a
dozen monographs, essay collections, and special journal issues,
literary studies looks increasingly 'green'; yet the field lacks a
straightforward, easy-to-use guide to do with reading and teaching
early modern texts ecocritically. Accessible yet comprehensive, the
cutting-edge collection Ecological Approaches to Early Modern
English Texts fills this gap. Organized around the notion of
contact zones (or points of intersection, that have often been
constructed asymmetrically-especially with regard to the
human-nonhuman dichotomy), the volume reassesses current trends in
ecocriticism and the Renaissance; introduces analyses of neglected
texts and authors; brings ecocriticism into conversation with
cognate fields and approaches (e.g., queer theory, feminism,
post-coloniality, food studies); and offers a significant section
on pedagogy, ecocriticism and early modern literature. Engaging
points of tension and central interest in the field, the collection
is largely situated in the 'and/or' that resides between
presentism-historicism, materiality-literary, somatic-semiotic,
nature-culture, and, most importantly, human-nonhuman. Ecological
Approaches to Early Modern English Texts balances coverage and
methodology; its primary goal is to provide useful, yet nuanced
discussions of ecological approaches to reading and teaching a
range of representative early modern texts. As a whole, the volume
includes a diverse selection of chapters that engage the complex
issues that arise when reading and teaching early modern texts from
a green perspective.
