It examines how nature writing is still relevant in the face of environmental threats and connects these conflicts to the historical crises of the environment, representation, and modern dissociated sensibility. It offers an informed critical approach for specialist readers and a valuable guide for general readers concerned about the diminishing natural world.

Why do we speak so much of nature today, when there is so little of it left? This study offers the first comprehensive exploration of modern British nature writing, spanning from the late eighteenth century to the present. Focusing on non-fictional prose, the book provides fresh readings of classic texts by Romantic, Victorian, and Contemporary authors, placing them within the context of an enduringly popular genre. While nature writing is often perceived as celebratory or escapist, it is also deeply attuned to the conflicts facing a natural world under threat. The book's five authors connect these conflicts to the triple historical crisis of the environment, representation, and modern dissociated sensibility. This book offers an informed critical approach to modern British nature writing for specialist readers, as well as a valuable guide for general readers concerned about the diminishing natural world.
