The Oxford Handbook of Ecocriticism provides a broad survey of the longstanding relationship between literature and the environment.

The degrading environment of the planet is something that touches everyone. This 2011 book offers an introductory overview of literary and cultural criticism that concerns environmental crisis in some form.

A clear and accessible guide using a wide variety of literary examples commonly found on courses and student-friendly features such as a glossary and further reading.
