Renaissance Ecology: Imagining Eden in Milton's England (Medieval & Renaissance Literary Studies)

The essays in Renaissance Ecology consider how writers and artists such as John Milton imagined, by way of Eden, a future where human beings would live in greater peace with the natural world. This impressive collection takes an exciting, new, "green" approach to representations of Eden, while also considering the role of gender, politics, and poetics, discussing relevant issues of both literature and culture. Renaissance Ecology will have a major impact on Renaissance studies as well as ecocriticism.
