AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bringing together decolonial, Romantic and global literature perspectives, Transcultural Ecocriticism explores innovative new directions for the field of environmental literary studies. By examining these literatures across a range of geographical locations and historical periods – from Romantic period travel writing to Chinese science fiction and Aboriginal Australian poetry – the book makes a compelling case for the need for ecocriticism to competently translate between Indigenous and non-Indigenous, planetary and local, and contemporary and pre-modern perspectives. Leading scholars from Australasia and North America explore links between Indigenous knowledges, Romanticism, globalisation, avant-garde poetics and critical theory in order to chart tensions as well as affinities between these discourses in a variety of genres of environmental representation, including science fiction, poetry, colonial natural history and oral narrative.' (Publication summary)

— Review of Transcultural Ecocriticism : Global, Romantic and Decolonial Perspectives 2021 anthology criticism

'Stuart Cooke and Peter Denney’s edited collection, Transcultural Ecocriticism: Global, Romantic and Decolonial Perspectives (Bloomsbury, 2021) offers a series of case studies on how the practice and study of literature responds to global ecological crisis. The emphasis on the ‘decolonial’ dimension of transcultural ecocriticism places the book in the field of postcolonial ecocriticism. The opening section of the book, ‘Planetary Localities’ invokes the key dialectic of Ursula Heise’s influential Sense of Place and Sense of Planet (2008). The second section, ‘Beyond the Romantic Frontier’ encompasses scholarship on eighteenth and nineteenth century cultures and imaginaries. The theme of the third and final section of the book is ‘Decolonial Poetics’ and focuses on case studies from Australia and Latin America.' (Publication abstract)
