In The Ecological Thought, eco-philosopher Timothy Morton has
argued for the inclusion of "dark ecology" in our thinking about
nature. Dark ecology, he argues, puts hesitation, uncertainty,
irony, and thoughtfulness back into ecological thinking." The
ecological thought, he says, should include "negativity and irony,
ugliness and horror." Focusing on this concept of "dark ecology"
and its invitation to add an anti-pastoral perspective to
ecocriticism, this collection of essays on American literature and
culture offers examples of how a vision of nature's darker side can
create a fuller understanding of humanity's relation to nature.
Included are essays on canonical American literature, on new voices
in American literature, and on non-print American media. This is
the first collection of essays applying the "dark ecology"
principle to American literature.
