literary ecocriticism

Literary ecocriticism is a field that examines how literature reflects, influences, and interacts with the natural environment. It analyzes texts to understand how nature is portrayed, the human relationship with the environment, and concerns about ecological issues like conservation, climate change, and sustainability. By exploring these themes, ecocriticism aims to highlight the cultural and societal impacts on nature and encourage a deeper awareness of our ecological responsibilities through literature. Essentially, it bridges literature and environmental studies to promote a more thoughtful engagement with the natural world.
