Early Modern Ecologies is the first collective volume to offer
perspectives on the relationship between contemporary ecological
thought and early modern French literature. If Descartes spoke of
humans as being 'masters and possessors of Nature' in the
seventeenth century, the writers taken up in this volume arguably
demonstrated a more complex and urgent understanding of the human
relationship to our shared planet. Opening up a rich archive of
literary and non-literary texts produced by Montaigne and his
contemporaries, this volume foregrounds not how ecocriticism renews
our understanding of a literary corpus, but rather how that corpus
causes us to re-think or to nuance contemporary eco-theory. The
sparsely bilingual title (an acute accent on ecologies) denotes the
primary task at hand: to pluralize (i.e. de-Anglophone-ize) the
Environmental Humanities. Featuring established and emerging
scholars from Europe and the United States, Early Modern Ecologies
opens up new dialogues between ecotheorists such as Timothy Morton,
Gilles Deleuze, and Bruno Latour and Montaigne, Ronsard, Du Bartas,
and Olivier de Serres.
