Extract
The classic anthology The Ecocriticism Reader: Landmarks in LiteraryEcology (1996), edited by Cheryll Glotfelty and Harold Fromm, wasthe first of its kind to bring together an array of scholarship that focused ona relatively unrecognized field of study: ecocriticism. This singularpublication was the brainchild of Glotfelty, who worked with Fromm to produce acollection that stands at the gates of our contemporary era as a harbinger ofthe significant criticism and curricula that would shape literary studies inEnglish departments across the country. The Ecocriticism Readeraccompanied a new wave of interest in the field as seen in contemporaneouspublications such as Karl Kroeber's Ecological LiteraryCriticism (1994) and Lawrence Buell's TheEnvironmental Imagination (1995).
