Description
Palgrave Ecocriticism and Geocriticism Overlapping Territories in Environmental and Spatial Literary Studies by Robert T. Tally Jr., Christine M. Battista, Saville
Although treated as two distinct schools of thought, ecocriticism and geocriticism have both placed emphasis on the lived environment, whether through social or natural spaces.
