Liverpool Studies in Literature and Environment provides a new home for cutting-edge scholarship in ecocriticism, broadly construed. Although the series’s impetus is rooted in awareness of contemporary environmental crisis, it welcomes scholars working within or across any period – from the medieval to the contemporary – who analyse the environmental literatures, media and cultures that inform the long history of environmental change. Likewise, the series is open to studies that bring in film, performance, visual art or digital media, alongside more traditional literary modes.
As with other areas of the environmental humanities, ecocriticism is a fast-moving field, continually responding to and incorporating new paradigms and contexts. The series hosts work that responds to well-established topics (e.g. ecopoetics and climate fiction) and theoretical approaches (posthumanism, material ecocriticism, animal studies, energy humanities, etc.). It also invites work that responds to important new challenges within the field, including questions of affect, decolonisation, infrastructure, justice, and the relationship between health and environment.
With series editors based across three continents, and an editorial advisory board that encompasses a wide range of specialisms and geographies, Liverpool Studies in Literature and Environment will continue to develop ecocriticism as an outward-looking and innovative field. It will open up new dialogues between the dominant strands of Anglo-American ecocriticism and scholars, authors and topics emerging from the Global South. The series editors welcome proposals that come from both early-career and established scholars for monographs and, where they are particularly field-defining, edited collections.
Proposals are warmly invited for the series; please contact Christabel Scaife with a Proposal Submission Form.
