Omschrijving
"In this unprecedented encounter with Irish ecocriticism, Eóin Flannery invokes an astute theoretical framework to articulate the intersecting oppressive hierarchies that impact ecological systems. Achieving a graceful balance of philosophical breadth and depth, Flannery engages in close analysis of Irish cultural texts, and brings to the forefront the ways Irish ecocriticism must simultaneously respond to material specificity and global climate crises. This compelling study offers the first truly comprehensive navigation of what it means to practice Irish ecocriticism and paves a promising path for future interdisciplinary approaches to Irish Studies and beyond. Ecocritics who are committed to bridging scholarship to activism and to redefining the intellectual boundaries of the academy will do well to follow Flannery's provocative example of ecological praxis."
--Professor Christine Cusick, Ed., Out of the Earth: Ecocritical Readings of Irish Texts
"What transpires is how crucial this new field of study is for shedding light on how ecological debates can enrich our understanding of Irish cultural history and literature. Flannery proves himself to be at the vanguard of a vital discourse with this impressive and persuasive critique."
