Ecocriticism: A study in brief

Abstract

Ecocriticism has been one of the widely discussed terms in the present times owing to the ecological disturbances all throughout the globe. No country, no continent has escaped the wrath of Mother Nature. In order to find a viable solution to this ever increasing and ever challenging threat, various disciplines have to come together as a wholesome group so that ecological awareness can be generated in all walks of life. Ecocriticism is one such interdisciplinary study which brings together both literature and ecology to address ecological problems. The present study is a small step in this direction as it traces the ecological inheritance and helps in fathoming the concept and scope of the term ‘ecocriticism’.
