Description:
Exploring the literature of environmental moral dilemmas from the Hebrew Bible to modern times, this book argues the necessity of cross-disciplinary approaches to environmental studies, as a subject affecting everyone, in every aspect of life.
Moral dilemmas are central in the literary genre of protest against the effects of industry, particularly in Romantic literature and Condition of England novels. Writers from the time of the Industrial Revolution to the presentincluding William Blake, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, mile Zola, Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov, T.S. Eliot, John Steinbeck, George Orwell, and J.M. Coetzeefollow the Bible in seeing environmental problems in moral terms, as a consequence of human agency. The issues raised by these and other writersincluding damage to the environment and its effects on health and quality of life, particularly on the poor economic conflicts of interest water and air pollution, deforestation, and the environmental effects of warare fundamentally the same today, making their works a continual source of interest and insight.
