Reviews
"""Premodern Ecologies in the Modern Literary Imagination is an extremely well-edited and beautifully illustrated collection of ecocritical essays that is sure to make a powerful intervention in the lively and currently quite active interdisciplinary field of ecocriticism. This collection is a uniquely vibrant and features both informed conversations with theoretical work and intra-volume conversations that deepen the essays' impact.""--Randy Schiff, Department of English, University at Buffalo, SUNY ""Premodern Ecologies in the Modern Literary Imagination is a searching and imaginative collection. The essays underline key points about our current environmental crises: that their dangers are a planetary condition formed out of a convergence of temporally varied and locally unique biohistories and that addressing this global threat demands changing our personal uses of the natural world. Premodern Ecologies in the Modern Literary Imaginationbrilliantly affirms the contemporary relevance of ecocritical literary and cultural history to these challenges, and it constitutes a significant cross-fertilizing advance in environmental research.""--Randall Martin, Department of English, University of New Brunswick"
