Summary:

This is the first book to draw together the rich variety of environmentalist positions -- from ecofeminism to deep ecology -- and theorize their contribution to critical theory, literature and popular culture. A distinguished cast of contributors explore the theoretical agenda for ecocriticism, present a green rereading of literary history, and look at contemporary culture: from poetry to children's books and television.
