Harnessing new enthusiasm for Nan Shepherd's writing, The Living
World asks how literature might help us reimagine humanity's place
on earth in the midst of our ecological crisis. The first book to
examine Shepherd's writing through an ecocritical lens, it reveals
forgotten details about the scientific, political and philosophical
climate of early twentieth century Scotland, and offers new
insights into Shepherd's distinctive environmental thought. More
than this, this book reveals how Shepherd's ways of relating to
complex, interconnected ecologies predate many of the core themes
and concerns of the multi-disciplinary environmental humanities,
and may inform their future development. Broken down into chapters
focusing on themes of place, ecology, environmentalism, Deep Time,
vital matter and selfhood, The Living World offers the first
integrated study of Shepherd's writing and legacy, making the work
of this philosopher, feminist, amateur ecologist, geologist, and
innovative modernist, accessible and relevant to a new community of
readers.
