1. 1. Literature And Nature In The English Renaissance

   

   Bringing ecocritical perspectives to the early modern period, this collection gathers and contextualizes poems, plays, travel narratives, natural histories, and other writings to reveal how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England imagined and contested the natural world. The selections trace anxieties about enclosure, deforestation, animal life, weather, mining, and colonial extraction while charting the interplay between humanist learning, nascent science, and spiritual belief. Together they show that canonical and lesser-known texts alike helped shape emerging environmental attitudes, complicating the stereotype of a wholly anthropocentric Renaissance.

2. 2. Ecocriticism And Early Modern English Literature

   Green Pastures

   

   A study that applies ecocritical perspectives to Renaissance English literature, showing how writers such as Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, and Milton imagined forests, animals, weather, and agrarian spaces amid enclosure, urbanization, empire, and emerging science. It argues that early modern texts register both wonder and anxiety toward environmental transformation, expose the politics of pastoral and land use, and anticipate ecological ethics, offering historically grounded insights relevant to contemporary environmental thought.
