Description
Why do we speak so much of nature today when there is so little of it left?
Prompted by this question, this study offers the first full-length exploration of modern British nature writing, from the late eighteenth century to the present.
Focusing on non-fictional prose writing, the book supplies new readings of classic texts by Romantic, Victorian and Contemporary authors, situating these within the context of an enduringly popular genre.
Nature writing is still widely considered fundamentally celebratory or escapist, yet it is also very much in tune with the conflicts of a natural world under threat.
The book's five authors connect these conflicts to the triple historical crisis of the environment; of representation; and of modern dissociated sensibility.
This book offers an informed critical approach to modern British nature writing for specialist readers, as well as a valuable guide for general readers concerned by an increasingly diminished natural world.
