Summary note
This volume explores the history, application, and the future of ecocriticism. It traces the origins of and describes the practice of ecocriticism during the renaissance, medieval, and romantic period and evaluates the influence of the ecoformalism of country and old-time music. It analyzes the relevance of various theories and principles to ecocritical analysis including posthumanism, phenomenology, queer theory, deconstruction, pataphyics, biosemiotic criticism, and environmental justice.
