  • Abstract:
  • Most of the approaches to the study of literature and language are anthropocentric in nature as Marxism deals with social class, feminism goes with gender perspective and structuralism and post-structuralism focus linguistic study. Ecocriticism takes a step ahead to study literature from an ecocentric point of view. The British Romanticism and the works 19th century American writers celebrate nature, the life force and wilderness. It can be aptly pointed out that Cheryl Glotfelty and Harold Fromm challenges the notion that everything is socially and/or linguistically constructed and instead, proposes an ecocritical position. Further, Joseph Meeker has offered ecocritical analysis of literature and provides us a few important objectives of ecocritical analysis of literature. The present paper is an honest attempt to study how Ecocriticism has taken its critical and methodological and earth centred approach to study literature, nature and culture.
