Synopsis

Ecocriticism and Environment: Rethinking Literature and Culture focuses on the interface of sustainability, ecology and the environment as reflected in literature and culture. The eclectic collection of essays examined how writers have, across the twentieth century and in the new millenium, addressed ecological crisis and environmental challenges that cut across national, cultural, socio-political and liguistic borders. The book also singles out literary genres which are particularly sensitive to issues of sustainability. The essays in this volume, by scholars and activists across the globe, address the diverse ways in which environments are imagined, produced and articulated in diverse contexts and mediums and the consequent changes.
