Book Review

Nature in Literary and Cultural Studies: Transatlantic Conversations on Ecocriticism. Edited By Catrin Gersdorf and Sylvia Mayer. Amsterdam and New York: Rodopi, 2006. 490 pp. Notes, index. Cloth $130.00.

Ecocriticism entails an implicit critique of the notion that humans are separate from the nonhuman world (p. 239), a viewpoint that will be familiar to non-western scholars but needs scholarly affirmation in Europe and the Neo-Europes created by colonization, where this volume originates. In their introduction, the editors frame their aim as to be "a more rigorous investigation of nature, not as a concept that reinforces but one that challenges established cultural, political and ethical normativities" (p. 10).
