The twenty-first century has seen an increased awareness of the
forms of environmental destruction that cannot immediately be seen,
localised or, by some, even acknowledged. Ecocriticism on the Edge
explores the possibility of a new mode of critical practice, one
fully engaged with the destructive force of the planetary
environmental crisis. Timothy Clark argues that, in literary and
cultural criticism, the "Anthropocene", which names the epoch in
which human impacts on the planet's ecological systems reach a
dangerous limit, also represents a threshold at which modes of
interpretation that once seemed sufficient or progressive become,
in this new counterintuitive context, inadequate or even latently
destructive. The book includes analyses of literary works,
including texts by Paule Marshall, Gary Snyder, Ben Okri, Henry
Lawson, Lorrie Moore and Raymond Carver.
