ENGLIT 1005 - LITERATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course examines the ways in which writers in English have engaged with the natural environment. We will read a range of authors, across time periods and up to the present day, to consider how they have looked critically at the human effects on ecosystems, and we will also study the interdisciplinary scholarly field of ecocriticism and its responses to such writings. Throughout, we will be attentive both to the literary qualities of writings about the environment and to their historical and political contexts.
