This book examines the issues of ecological crisis and sustainable
development through critical reading of literary texts. By
analysing writings of Rabindranath Tagore, Amitav Ghosh, Gerard
Manley Hopkins, Hannah Arendt, and Lawrence Buell, it discusses
themes like oriental representations of ecological consciousness;
environmental evocations; misogyny and its postmodern creations;
tracing nature's footprints in English literature; statelessness
and consequent environmental refugees; ecocriticism and comics;
and, absolute trust in the goodness of the earth. The volume argues
that within the ambit of debates between ecological threats and
socio-economic concerns, culture plays a vital role particularly in
relation to parameters such as identity and engagement, memory and
projection, gender and generations, inquiry and learning, wellbeing
and health. This book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of cultural studies, English literature, social
anthropology, gender studies, sustainable development,
environmental studies, ecological studies, development studies, and
post-colonial studies.
