Description
Material Ecocriticism offers new ways to analyze language and reality, human and nonhuman life, mind and matter, without falling into well-worn paths of thinking. Bringing ecocriticism closer to the material turn, the contributions to this landmark volume focus on material forces and substances, the agency of things, processes, narratives and stories, and making meaning out of the world. This broad-ranging reflection on contemporary human experience and expression provokes new understandings of the planet to which we are intimately connected.

Editorial Reviews
With its wide array of topics and theoretical influences, Material Ecocriticism is a helpful starting point for those wondering how new materialist thinking can inform ecocriticism; it would also serve as a pertinent addition to graduate seminars.
