Nature and Literary Studies offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of one of the most significant and contentious terms in contemporary literary studies. By bringing together the insights of esteemed scholars from diverse critical approaches, historical periods, and cultural traditions, the book delves into the philosophical, theological, and scientific roots of nature in literature, as well as how literary representations of this concept have evolved in response to colonialism, industrialization, and new forms of scientific knowledge. Spanning the diverse applications of nature in twenty-first-century literary studies and critical theory, the volume aims to reconcile nature's ideological baggage with its fundamental significance in promoting an appreciation for nonhuman beings and agency.
Chapters on wilderness, pastoralism, gender studies, critical race theory, and digital literature are included, making this book an invaluable resource for students and professors seeking to understand nature's role in the environmental humanities.
Through its comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, Nature and Literary Studies provides a rich and nuanced understanding of nature's multifaceted significance in literature and beyond, contributing to our broader understanding of the natural world and its role in shaping human culture.
