The Pioneer Ecocritics’ Critique of the English Profession in the Emergence of Ecocriticism

Abstract

Ecocriticism is one of the most recent trends in literary criticism. Ecocriticism is critical of the ignorance and absence of nature, environment, and the environmental crisis in literary studies. The pioneer ecocritics argue that this indifference of the literary studies is mainly due to the dominant anthropocentric worldview in literary studies.
