- Description
- Studies "ways in which medieval British romances conceived of ecological contexts" and identifies a "range of economic, religious, and social values attached to landscape"--hills and mines; seashores and beaches; and foreign, domestic, and fantastic territories--in a wide variety of popular romances and in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Includes ecocritical comments on the "seashore as a space for play and false narrative" in FranT and a space of economic possibility and exploitation in MLT.
