From Gaelic annals and medieval poetry to contemporary Irish
literature, A History of Irish Literature and the Environment
examines the connections between the Irish environment and Irish
literary culture. Themes such as Ireland's island ecology, the
ecological history of colonial-era plantation and deforestation,
the Great Famine, cultural attitudes towards animals and towards
the land, the postcolonial politics of food and energy generation,
and the Covid-19 pandemic - this book shows how these factors
determine not only a history of the Irish environment but also
provide fresh perspectives from which to understand and analyze
Irish literature. An international team of contributors provides a
comprehensive analysis of Irish literature to show how the literary
has always been deeply engaged with environmental questions in
Ireland, a crucial new perspective in an age of climate crisis. A
History of Irish Literature and the Environment reveals the
socio-cultural, racial, and gendered aspects embedded in questions
of the Irish environment.
