In Ecocritical Explorations, Patrick D. Murphy explores
environmental literature and environmental cultural issues through
both theoretical and applied criticism. He engages with the
concepts of referentiality, simplicity, the nation state, and
virtual reality in the first section of the book, and then goes on
to interrogate these issues in contemporary environmental
literature, both American and international. He concludes his
argument with a discussion of the larger frames of family dynamics
and un-natural disasters, such as hurricanes and global warming,
ending with a chapter on the integration of scholarship and
pedagogy in the classroom, with reference to his own teaching
experiences. Murphy's study provides a wide ranging discussion of
contemporary literature and cultural phenomena through the lens of
ecological literary criticism, giving attention to both theoretical
issues and applied critiques. In particular, he looks at popular
literary genres, such as mystery and science fiction, as well as
actual disasters and disaster scenarios. Ecocritical Explorations
in Literary and Cultural Studies is a timely contribution to
ecological literary criticism and an insightful look into how we
represent our relationship with the environment.
