Premodern Ecologies in the Modern Literary Imagination explores how
the cognitive and physical landscapes in which scholars conduct
research, write, and teach have shaped their understandings of
medieval and Renaissance English literary "oecologies." The
collection strives to practice what Ursula K. Heise calls
"eco-cosmopolitanism," a method that imagines forms of local
environmentalism as a defense against the interventions of
open-market global networks. It also expands the idea's
possibilities and identifies its limitations through critical
studies of premodern texts, artefacts, and environmental history.
The essays connect real environments and their imaginative
(re)creations and affirm the urgency of reorienting humanity's
responsiveness to, and responsibility for, the historical links
between human and non-human existence. The discussion of ways in
which meditation on scholarly place and time can deepen ecocritical
work offers an innovative and engaging approach that will appeal to
both ecocritics generally and to medieval and early modern
scholars.
