Exploring Post-1900 Modern English Literature through an Ecocritical Lens

Abstract

Ecocriticism is a prominent, innovative, and reformist approach to contemporary English literature that is changing the way people talk about the environment across the globe. With an eye on the good and bad sides of the complex relationship between humans and the natural environment, this perspective examines the whole picture. This research paper will use Ecocriticism as a prism through which to examine English literature published after 1900. By analyzing famous literary works, the study hopes to discover insights that are relevant to the environment. This research aims to chart Ecocriticism's evolution from an emphasis on nature as a mystic to one that stresses the interconnectedness of human and nonhuman forces. Examining the works of influential authors allows us to achieve this goal. On top of that, it stresses the need to promote eco-literacy, raising eco-consciousness, and preserving nature. The study finishes by urging everyone to take an active role and work together to save and improve the environment.
