Bringing together decolonial, Romantic and global literature
perspectives, Transcultural Ecocriticism explores innovative new
directions for the field of environmental literary studies. By
examining these literatures across a range of geographical
locations and historical periods – from Romantic period travel
writing to Chinese science fiction and Aboriginal Australian poetry
– the book makes a compelling case for the need for ecocriticism
to competently translate between Indigenous and non-Indigenous,
planetary and local, and contemporary and pre-modern perspectives.
Leading scholars from Australasia and North America explore links
between Indigenous knowledges, Romanticism, globalisation,
avant-garde poetics and critical theory in order to chart tensions
as well as affinities between these discourses in a variety of
genres of environmental representation, including science fiction,
poetry, colonial natural history and oral narrative.
