Reviews

'... a significant contribution to this nascent but rapidly growing body of modernist eco-criticism.' William Kupinse, James Joyce Literary Supplement


'… a significant contribution to this nascent but rapidly growing body of modernist eco-criticism.' William Kupinse, James Joyce Literary Supplement 'In his introduction, Kalaidjian expresses the need for both modernism and ecocriticism to advance each other and not “simply reinterpret one through the other's lens”. Exhausted Ecologies therefore has much to offer to those studying Europe and its empires, environmental historians, modernist literary critics, and ecocritical scholars alike. Kalaidjian's work here overall is timely in light of the increasing threat of climate disaster, as well as a fascinating view into the connections between modernist literature and the beginnings of modern environmentalism.' Leanna Lostoski-Ho, EuropeNow
