Nature in Literary and Cultural Studies is a collection of essays written
by European and North American scholars who argue that nature and culture
can no longer be thought of in oppositional, mutually exclusive terms.
They are united in an effort to push the theoretical limits of
ecocriticism towards a more rigorous investigation of nature’s critical
potential as a concept that challenges modern culture’s philosophical
assumptions, epistemological convictions, aesthetic principles, and
ethical imperatives. This volume offers scholars and students of
literature, culture, history, philosophy, and linguistics new insights
into the ongoing transformation of ecocriticism into an innovative force
in international and interdisciplinary literary and cultural studies.
