This book offers the term ecophobia as a way of understanding and organizing representations of contempt for the natural world. Estok argues that this vocabulary is both necessary to the developing area of ecocritical studies and for understandings of the representations of Nature in Shakespeare. Engaging close readings with theoretical sophistication make this book a path-braking contribution to both Shakespearean scholarship and the burgeoning field of ecocriticism.
