British Eco-poetry at the Beginning of the 21st Century - 2007.

His article is an attempt to explore and assess the British side of the contemporary international movement of ecopoetry. It begins with a brief examination of ecocriticism, considered as a post-deconstruction moment of literary theory and criticism, coming to realise that several of its main lines of argument are revisions of previous considerations, that modernism and postmodernism had turned away from. In several ways, the discourse of ecopoetry and ecocriticism is a resurgence and a revaluation of the romantic ideology, for which William Wordsworth is a figure of particular importance. It is in some respect an alternative to postmodernism, finding theoretical support in thinkers in the margins of poststructuralism, thus continuing a long-standing tradition of writers who looked with critical eyes on Western materialist rationalism.
