Summary/Abstract: Mostly sceptic towards politically oriented approaches in cultural studies - such as postcolonialism, gender or animal studies - French critics have also been slower in adopting methodologies from the field of ecocriticism, which emerged and developed mostly in the anglophone context. French publications addressing environmental concerns in humanities became more prolific in the last years and the present volume, French Ecocriticism. From the Early Modern Period to the Twenty-First Century, responds the need to draw a framework for the French eco-criticism, casting light upon specific traits and directions that distinguish it from the anglophone tradition.
