Writing for an Endangered World: Literature, Culture, and Environment in the U.S. and Beyond

by Lawrence Buell

Book Overview

The environmental imagination does not stop short at the edge of the woods. Nor should our understanding of it, as Lawrence Buell makes clear in this book that aims to reshape the field of literature and environmental studies. Emphasizing the influence of the physical environment on individual and collective perception, his book thus provides the theoretical underpinnings for ecocriticism.
