{"product_id":"ecological-approaches-to-early-modern-english-texts-paperback-softback","title":"Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcocriticism has steadily gained footing within the larger arena of early modern scholarship, and with the publication of well over a dozen monographs, essay collections, and special journal issues, literary studies looks increasingly ’green’; yet the field lacks a straightforward, easy-to-use guide to do with reading and teaching early modern texts ecocritically.  Accessible yet comprehensive, the cutting-edge collection Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts fills this gap.  Organized around the notion of contact zones (or points of intersection, that have often been constructed asymmetrically-especially with regard to the human-nonhuman dichotomy), the volume reassesses current trends in ecocriticism and the Renaissance; introduces analyses of neglected texts and authors; brings ecocriticism into conversation with cognate fields and approaches (e.g., queer theory, feminism, post-coloniality, food studies); and offers a significant section on pedagogy, ecocriticism and early modern literature.  Engaging points of tension and central interest in the field, the collection is largely situated in the 'and\/or' that resides between presentism-historicism, materiality-literary, somatic-semiotic, nature-culture, and, most importantly, human-nonhuman.    Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts balances coverage and methodology; its primary goal is to provide useful, yet nuanced discussions of ecological approaches to reading and teaching a range of representative early modern texts. As a whole, the volume includes a diverse selection of chapters that engage the complex issues that arise when reading and teaching early modern texts from a green perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45585112334574,"sku":"9781472416735","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781472416735.jpg?v=1721117537","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/ecological-approaches-to-early-modern-english-texts-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
