Sheffield Centre for Early Modern Studies

<p>Early modern texts have often been positioned on the margins of ecocriticism, which has typically focused its attention on the Romantics and subsequent eras. My own work has also lurked on the margins of ecocriticism, interested in the ways in which texts represent the land and rural change, but not always explicitly engaged with the self-declared Renaissance ecocriticism which has become prominent in the past 10-20 years. I’d like to reflect on all of this in the masterclass, using a few passages from Poly-Olbion to focus discussion. Songs 23 and 25 are both relatively short, and each is deeply engaged with questions about the relation of humans with their local habitats.</p>
