ecocritical literary studies

Ecocritical literary studies is an approach that examines how nature, the environment, and human interactions with the natural world are portrayed in literature. It seeks to understand how texts reflect, influence, or challenge ideas about nature, ecological relationships, and environmental issues. By analyzing literary works through this lens, ecocriticism highlights the cultural attitudes towards the environment and encourages awareness of our impact on the planet. It connects literature with ecological concerns, fostering a deeper understanding of the environment’s role in human life and storytelling.
