Although treated as two distinct schools of thought, ecocriticism and geocriticism have both placed emphasis on the lived environment, whether through social or natural spaces. For the first time, this interdisciplinary collection of essays addresses the complementary and contested aspects of these approaches to literature, culture, and society.

Rezensionen
"This book's most notable achievement is its interdisciplinary synthesis of the disciplines of literature and geography more broadly. The wide-ranging scope of the literature considered is certainly a strength of work, ranging from North Atlantic environmental multimedia and practice-based poetry to gothic writing and world literature. Through careful handling, the collection moves critically between post colonialism and ecology, psychoanalysis, ecofeminism and post naturalism, acknowledging the literary significance of spatiality and the environment." (Chloe Ashbridge, Literary Geographies, Vol. 4 (2), 2018)

"This is a timely volume that engages with a significant and growing area of literary and cultural studies. For some time there have been two largely distinct schools - place studies and spatial theory - that explore related but rarely linked ideas. This collection is designed to help bring these two approaches together. And it does so admirably. It is a significant contribution and will help to reconcile the differing strands of place and spatial theory. I learned a lot from it and I am sure other readers will as well." - Tom Lynch, Professor of English, University of Nebraska, USA
