The Cambridge Companion to American Literature and the Environment by Sarah Ensor

The Cambridge Companion to American Literature and the Environment by Sarah Ensor

This book offers a broad overview of American environmental literature and criticism. Demonstrating links between ecocriticism and fields such as Black feminism, food studies, Latinx studies, Indigenous studies, and queer theory, it reveals the persistent relevance of literary methods within the interdisciplinary field of Environmental Humanities.

Sarah Ensor is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is also a Faculty Associate at the Center for Culture, History, and Environment in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. She works at the nexus of American literature, environmental studies, and queer theory. Susan Scott Parrish is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of English and the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan, where she is also Chair of the Michigan Society of Fellows. She researches the history of how races and environments have been mutually constituted in North America since the colonial period, with a special emphasis on the plantation zone understood in an Atlantic context. She has written two prize-winning books: The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History (2017) and American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (2006).
