The Value of Ecocriticism offers a brief, incisive overview of the
fast-changing field of environmental literary criticism in a
bewildering age of global environmental threat. The intellectual,
moral and political complexity of environmental issues, especially
at the global scale (the so-called 'Anthropocene') forms a new
challenge of inventiveness for both literature and criticism.
Ecocriticism has been going through a period of radical change and
has become a diverse and huge field on the exciting but unstable
boundary between the humanities and the sciences, with a mix of
cultural, political, scientific and activist strands. Its mantra is
that the environmental crisis demands a reconsideration of
society's basic values, constitution and purposes, and that art and
literature can be vital in that work. As a leading figure in this
field, Timothy Clark surveys recent developments in ecocriticism
lucidly, but also sometimes critically. This book examines
ecopoetics, material ecocriticism, and the ideas of world
literature as well as contentious claims that we are living in a
new geological epoch.
