Since storytelling began, narratives of getting lost in the woods
or of choosing to live in the heterotopian space of the woods have
remained popular and are, at the time of writing, experiencing a
new revival. The theory of ecopsychology supplies a productive
paradigm for understanding mental well-being in a cultural
landscape suffused with reimaginings of nature as 'unspoiled
wilderness'. The eco-psychopathologies presented in the essays in
this volume range in origin from medieval literature to
contemporary films and online games. The classic romantic or gothic
trope of getting lost in the forest, but also its recreational
function (forest-bathing) reflect mental states humans develop when
they step into the culturally constructed entity of the woodland.
These ecocritical analyses present different facets of such
encounters.
