The California Crucible: Literary Harbingers of Deep Ecology

More about the book

The study delves into the intersection of the works of five California writers and the principles of deep ecology. It reveals how John Muir, Mary Austin, Robinson Jeffers, John Steinbeck, and Gary Snyder not only anticipated but also shaped the deep ecology movement through their non-anthropocentric perspectives. By identifying four foundational factors—philosophical syncretism, gestalt ontology, natural sciences knowledge, and place attachment—Kopecký highlights their unique contributions to ecocriticism. The book serves as a valuable resource for both scholars and students interested in this field.
