Literature And Nature In The English Renaissance by Todd Andrew Borlik
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.
