An Eco-critical Analysis of Modern English Literature: Depictions of Nature and Environmental Awareness”
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The ecocriticism is now a significant inter-disciplinary practice and it examines the relationship between the natural world and literature. The current research paper will analyze the way in which nature is depicted in the modern English literature and the way in which environmental consciousness evolved. It discusses the environmental concerns, which the contemporary writers explore in their texts such as the degradation of the environment, global warming, industrialization and human nature relationship. By an examination of the selected literary works, the paper has elicited the turning of nature into romanticized ideas to satirical and sometimes frightening ideas on the potential who express contemporary environmental calamities. The role of literature as a tool to raise environmental awareness and ethical responsibility is also discussed in the paper. Eco-critically speaking, this research paper demonstrates that modern English books are not merely a mirror of environmental concerns but they also adjust in the audience to sustainable thinking and ecological awareness.
