Reviews

'Moving from Shakespeare and Milton to logging and perfume distillation, the contributors to this collection valuably trace the lines of association that connect early modern English literary and cultural activity to our current global ecological condition. The result is a stimulating and readable anthology of early modern ecostudies, offering valuable resources for teaching and future scholarship alike.' Bruce Boehrer, Florida State University, USA
