• W2762337774 abstract "B o o k R e v i e w s The Qreening of Literary Scholarship: Literature, Theory, and the Environment. Ed. Steven Rosendale. Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2002. 275 pages, $39.95/$19.95. Reviewed by Kent C. Ryden University of Southern Maine, Portland Is it too early to be thinking of “second-wave” ecocriticism so soon after the first wave broke upon the shores of academe? The publication of The Greening of Literary Scholarship suggests that the second wave is not only here, it may well be more robust than the pioneering ecocriticism from which it seeks to depart. In a 1990 Western American Literature essay titled “Revaluing Nature: Toward an Ecological Criticism,” Glen Love called for an ecocentric approach to studying literature that would counter prevailing anthropocentric modes of analysis and provide a much needed means for rethinking the human relaFaye Maxfield.

Love advocated the intensified study of nature writing, particularly western American nature writing, and his essay quickly became a manifesto and model for the burgeoning field of ecocriticism. Almost immediately, though, many scholars began to question what they saw as the limits of this kind of approach. Some felt that, in order not to be marginalized and to have as great an impact as possible, ecocriticism had to engage with a broad range of literatures, not simply conventional nature writing about wild places; others argued that to separate ecocriticism from other, more humanis­ tic, theoretical approaches was both unnecessary and counterproductive. Within ten years of Glen Love’s essay, collections with names like Beyond Nature Writing and The Nature of Cities took their places on the still short ecocritical bookshelf. The Greening of Literary Scholarship is a wide-ranging, intellectually ambi­ tious contribution to this new scholarly project. The book wears its revisionist impulse proudly: editor Steven Rosendale’s introduction is titled “Extending Ecocriticism,” and the three sections among which the book’s thirteen essays are distributed strive equally self-consciously to claim previously overlooked scholarly ground. A section called “Remapping Literary Histories” presents arguments for incorporating such texts and practices as textual editing, new historicism, colonial promotional tracts, leftist urban literature, and the nine­ teenth-century British convention of the literary panorama into the work that ecocritics do. The essays in the next section, “Expanding the Subject in Ecocriticism,” collectively argue for and demonstrate the importance of con­ sidering the subjective categories of race, ethnicity, gender, and the body while pursuing ecocritical scholarship. Finally, a section titled “Rethinking Repre­ sentation and the Sublime” demonstrates how the seemingly outdated concept of the sublime raises important questions about the limits and possibilities of using literature to represent non-human nature in the works of writers as diverse as Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ann Radcliffe, and the western American explorers Clarence King and John Wesley Powell. While this anthology pursues the same general aim as other recent essay collections, its deliberate and consistent effort to bring together ecocriticism with other, more established, seemingly “non-green” theoretical practices is what sets it apart. True to its oppositional intent, the book doesn’t touch on many of the kinds of nature-oriented authors often dealt with in the pages of this journal; James Tarter’s essay on Silko’s Ceremony, James D. Lilley’s study of “Cormac McCarthy’s environmental imagination,” and Rick Van Noy’s piece on the tension between surveying and the sublime in King and Powell as well as Thoreau will, however, give students of western American literature some new and interesting things to think about. And given that there seems to be more “oppositional” than mainstream ecocriticism being practiced these days, The Greening of Literary Scholarship will give interested readers a good intro­ duction to the current state of this still growing field. ..." @default.
