The recent wave of ecocriticism in the study of Romanticism has focused almost exclusively on texts by male writers. This special issue is intended to initiate a discussion of women's views of nature and the environment both during the Romantic era and in the larger context of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The editors welcome articles grounded in both theory and practice. Examinations of the intersections between post-colonial critiques and ecofeminism are particularly welcome.
All literary traditions are of interest.
Book reviews will also be considered. The special issue will be published in June 2002.
