What People are Saying About This

"These essays illustrate the considerable range in both subject matter and critical tactics available to and through ecocriticism; they chart out a wide, varied, and inviting new territory for teaching and research." -- SueEllen Campbell, Colorado State University

John Tallmadge

Beyond Nature Writing is a stimulating, challenging, lively, and informative book—an impressive gathering of essays that delineate the expanding boundaries of the emerging field of ecocriticism—that will be of great use to scholars and teachers with an interest in literature and environmental studies. The range and choice of subjects is both wise and illuminating, and the variety of style and approach is truly refreshing.
