Excellent- More about Material Ecocriticism and Sylvan Agency in Speculative Fiction: The Forests of the World
Material Ecocriticism and Sylvan Agency in Speculative Fiction explores the relationship between fictional forests and arboreal characters in speculative fiction through the lens of material ecocriticism and sylvan agency. It establishes a framework for reading forests with an ecocritical and eco-sylvan lens, applying it to analyze the sylvan realm, arboreal characters, and the relationship between humans and their fictional forests. The author argues for a re-negotiation of sylvan agency and facilitation of eco-sylvan awareness in times of environmental crisis.

Material Ecocriticism and Sylvan Agency in Speculative Fiction explores the interconnected relationship between the examination of fictional forests and the portrayal of arboreal characters in speculative fiction and the literary approach of material ecocriticism. By integrating a conceptualization of sylvan agency, this book aims to establish and position the study of sylvan agency within the framework of material ecocriticism. It provides a comprehensive framework for reading fictional forests through an ecocritical lens, particularly focusing on eco-sylvan aspects. The author utilizes the re-negotiation of matter and material agency to establish a sylvan and arboreal agency in speculative fiction, encompassing a range of works from classic fantasy novels like J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1954-55) or Ursula Le Guin's science-fiction novella The Word for World is Forest (1961) to contemporary films such as James Cameron's Avatar (2010) or Ali Shaw's The Trees (2016). Through this analysis, the author advocates for a re-negotiation of sylvan agency and the promotion of eco-sylvan awareness in times of environmental crisis.
