This volume offers a timely and compelling exploration of ecocriticism in an era marked by climate change, ecological degradation, and environmental injustice. This interdisciplinary volume brings together global voices from literature, environmental studies, philosophy, and cultural studies to examine how literary texts shape, reflect, and challenge our relationship with the natural world. Spanning diverse genres, historical periods, and cultural contexts, the chapters delve into pressing themes such as environmental ethics, climate fiction, plant-human relationships, and the imaginative power of literature to envision sustainable futures. Contributors explore how literature bears witness to ecological crises, amplifies marginalized voices, and fosters new ways of thinking about nature and culture.
Accessible yet scholarly, the book is an essential read for students, educators, researchers, and general readers interested in ecocriticism, global literature, and the environmental humanities. It is a valuable resource for university courses and a vital addition to academic and public libraries worldwide. As universities increasingly offer courses in literature and ecology, this book serves as a foundational text for understanding the role of the arts in shaping our environmental consciousness.
