Ecocriticism
This volume is a true celebration of the first decade of ISLE and will make a valuable contribution to the ongoing project of the 'greening' of literary and cultural studies. --Kate Rigby "Monash University " If ecocriticism has become a household word in academe, as I believe it has, the credit mostly goes to ASLE and its journal. . . . a solid, deservedly celebratory book that ISLE readers will want to know. --Western American Literature Every new literary movement needs its journal. We have needed ISLE to show us what we might do, where we might go, whom we might learn from, debate with, or perhaps even overleap. --Terry Gifford "Reader in Literature and Environment, University of Leeds, U.K. " Branch and Slovic are entirely right that a 'journal is a substantial written record of the progress of a community of thinkers.' This tenth anniversary anthology is a testimony to the quality of ISLE, to those who've sown the weeds of ecocriticism. --ISLE
