The Environmental Imagination: Green Writing and Ecocriticism
ENGL 112 SP
This course will study the relations between literature, literary criticism, and cultural criticism on the one hand and the natural environment on the other. Drawing on the works of "green writers" from Henry David

to Linda Hogan, and on contemporary commentary on these writers and on the environmental movement in general, we will discuss such topics as the ideology of wilderness, pollution and politics, landscape and environment,
and
nature in the marketplace.
