Teaching Ecocriticism and Green Cultural

Ecocriticism is one of the most vibrant fields of cultural study today, and environmental issues are controversial and topical. This volume captures the excitement of green reading, reflects on its relationship to the modern academy, and provides practical guidance for dealing with global scale, interdisciplinarity, apathy and scepticism.

Greg Garrard is National Teaching Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Bath Spa University, UK, where he teaches poetry, contemporary literature, ecocriticism and animal studies. He is Chair of ASLE-UKI and the author of Ecocriticism (2004), as well as numerous essays on literature and the environment and ecocritical pedagogy.
