Opis

"Greenery" reaches back and offers new readings of English texts, both known and unfamiliar, informed by eco-criticism. After considering general issues pertaining to green criticism, Greenery moves on to a series of individual chapters arranged by theme (earth, trees, wilds, sea, gardens and fields) which provide individual close readings of selections from such familiar texts as "Malory's Morte D'Arthur," "Chaucer's""Knight's and Franklin's Tales," "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Langland's Piers Plowman.
