"Beyond Nature Writing is a stimulating, challenging, lively, and informative book--an impressive gathering of essays that delineate the expanding boundaries of the emerging field of ecocriticism--that will be of great use to scholars and teachers with an interest in literature and environmental studies." --John Tallmadge, The Union Institute, author of Meeting the Tree of Life: A Teacher's Path "Many of these essays are quite lovely, and John Elder's is worth the price of the volume all by itself." --Bill McKibben, Harvard University, author of The End of Nature
