Ecocriticism, nature-sensitive literary studies, has evolved enough that Murphy (English, Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) argues it requires its own critique and new theoretical underpinnings. In this volume he provides a "taxonomy" that addresses the issues of mode and genre in nature literature with an emphasis on texts written by women such as Linda Hogan, Edna Escamill, and Ishimure Michiko. In the process he suggests ways that ecocriticism can become more inclusive and more sophisticated.
