Ecocriticism and Women Writers: Environmentalist Poetics of Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, and Ali Smith 2013th Edition

“This book performs the graceful task of creating desire for the actual texts of literature, as well as the actual texts of nature and environments. Reading these chapters, we wonder if we too will perceive the world differently, now that we’ve understood the rapture possible in offering clear attention to the worlds we live in, and the worlds that live in each of us.” – Greta Gaard, University of Wisconsin, USA

‘[An] intriguing study… Kostkowska, a professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University, has produced a sophisticated and eclectically argued study of three interestingly interlinked women writers: Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, and Ali Smith.’ Dan Wylie, Partial Answers: The Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas
