As we enter a new millennium ruled by technology, will poetry still matter? "The Song of the Earth" answers eloquently in the affirmative. A book about our growing alienation from nature, it is also a brilliant meditation on the capacity of the writer to bring us back to earth, our home. In the first ecological reading of English literature, Jonathan Bate traces the distinctions among "nature," "culture," and "environment" and shows how their meanings have changed since their appearance in the literature of the eighteenth century. An intricate interweaving of climatic, topographical, and political elements poetically deployed, his book ranges from greenhouses in Jane Austen's novels to fruit bats in the poetry of Les Murray, by way of Thomas Hardy's woodlands, Dr. Frankenstein's Creature, John Clare's birds' nests, Wordsworth's rivers, Byron's bear, and an early nineteenth-century novel about an orangutan who stands for Parliament. Though grounded in the English Romantic tradition, the book also explores American, Central European, and Caribbean poets and engages theoretically with Rousseau, Adorno, Bachelard, and especially Heidegger. The model for an innovative and sophisticated new "ecopoetics," "The Song of the Earth" is at once an essential history of environmental consciousness and an impassioned argument for the necessity of literature in a time of ecological crisis.

图书馆发现的。。好书
评分宝藏！探讨了奥斯丁和哈代的普及，对具有浪漫主义传统的作品进行生态批评角度的思考，结合了社会环境历史、生物进化科学、生态学和混沌理论，德国批评理论以及现象学等。生态理论最困难的地方在于用人类的“话语”中介为他者张目，浪漫主义或许有点文化贵族的意味，非理性主义和原始神话思维的背后语境也很容易把生态理论的绿染成红，所以现象学的悬置或许可以跳出纠缠不清的话语漩涡，受海德格尔启发的生态诗学重点或许不在“生态”而在“诗”上。
评分图书馆发现的。。好书
评分对“文化”的本意和由此产生的比喻义解释得十分有意思。重点看的是对简奥斯汀和哈代的分析，“风景即是文化”这个观点很不错。
评分writing for an endangered world.
