In A Global History of Literature and the Environment, an
international group of scholars illustrate the immense riches of
environmental writing from the earliest literary periods down to
the present. It addresses ancient writings about human/animal/plant
relations from India, classical Greece, Chinese and Japanese
literature, the Maya Popol Vuh, Islamic texts, medieval European
works, eighteenth-century and Romantic ecologies,
colonial/postcolonial environmental interrelations, responses to
industrialization, and the emerging literatures of the world in the
present Anthropocene moment. Essays range from Trinidad to New
Zealand, Estonia to Brazil. Discussion of these texts indicates a
variety of ways environmental criticism can fruitfully engage
literary works and cultures from every continent and every
historical period. This is a uniquely varied and rich international
history of environmental writing from ancient Mesopotamian and
Asian works to the present. It provides a compelling account of a
topic that is crucial to twenty-first-century global literary
studies.
