An ecocriticism book from India with insights in Indian ecocriticism.
This is the first time ever that iam seeing a book on ecocriticism in India. This book is interdisciplinary and diverse in all respects, which according to me is the basic concept of Ecocriticism. The essays cut across various disciplines like, media, economics, literature, tribology and theology. Any one who is interested in ecocriticism (a comparatively new discipline in Indian academy)should have this book on their shelves.
I appreciate Sarup and Sons and Organisation for Studies in Literature and environment-India (OSLE-India), for taking effort to publish this book, which might create a revolution in the field of criticism.
This book marks a milestone in the study of the critical tradition. This book has a compilation of essays from scholars all over the world. if you are passionate about Literature, ecology, criticism then this book should be a feast for your sensibilities. It is an effective tool that can be used in the classroom. Kudos to the publishers, the editors and the contributors.
