I am planning to write a paper on the ecological crisis and I need book for the application of ecocriticism as a theory in literature ?
John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath concerns migrants from the dustbowl South of the 1930s trekking their way to California. Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson describes the impact of the Galveston Storm and its immediate aftermath on the survivors of the worst US natural disaster. The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald deals with fast-lane suburban life during the roaring twenties. One of the themes of this classic novel is the careless wastefulness of people as well as things by major characters who create disasters for others and leave the scene unconcerned. Finally, although not a work of fiction, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring written nearly 60 years ago was perhaps the first, mass-popular book that called attention to the warning signals that the environment was flashing.
