Overview
Combining the latest scientific and
philosophical understanding of humankind's place in the world with
interpretative methods derived from other politically inflected literary
criticism, ecocriticism is providing new insights into literary works
both ancient and modern. With case-study analyses of the Tragedies, the
Comedies, the History Plays and the late Romances as well as the
Sonnets, this book is a wide-ranging introduction to reading Shakespeare
in light of contemporary ecocritical theory.
