This review is from: The Greening of Literary Scholarship: Literature, Theory, and the Environment (Paperback)

This book, together with only a few others, provides a powerful introduction to the growing field of ecocriticism. The chapters are varied in target study content but share a common rigor in analysis and a common clarity of prose. I have refered my students to this work and indeed found it to be very useful as a background reader when I penned my own recent book of ecocriticsm concerning contemporary nature writing about water - Deep Immersion: The Experience of Water (nominated for top environmetal book of the year). Given its probable widespread usefulness to environmental scholars, The Greening of Literary Schloarship should be part of every 'green' academic's library.
