Ecocriticism and the Island: Readings from the British-Irish Archipelago

Pippa Marland

4.9/5 (10629 ratings)

Description:Islands have long been the subject of cultural fascination, but in recent decades, they have exerted an increasingly powerful centrifugal force, sending writers to the outer edges of the British-Irish archipelago in search of inspiration and insight.Drawing on contemporary ecocritical approaches, island studies, and emergent archipelagic perspectives, Ecocriticism and the Island explores a wide selection of island-themed creative non-fiction. Through a combination of textual analysis, and, where possible, original interviews and archival research, Pippa Marland offers new insights into the work of Tim Robinson, Brenda Chamberlain, Christine Evans, W.G. Sebald, Stephen Watts, Amy Liptrot, Kathleen Jamie, Adam Nicolson, Robert Macfarlane, and David Gange. In assessing the ways in which these authors negotiate existing cultural tropes of the island while offering their own distinctive articulations of "islandness," this book represents an important intervention into island literary studies. At the same time, it contributes to the development of an archipelagic strand of ecocriticism--one that offers a valuable perspective on human-environmental relationships in an Anthropocene context.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
