- This monograph results from 5 years work culminating in this 232-page output. It develops emerging critical thinking engaged with the ethical and representational demands of representing the global environmental crisis. The book questions the moral and intellectual adequacy of assumptions in given criticism about the spatial and temporal scales relevant to thought. It develops a corresponding, new mode of critical practice engaged with counter-intuitive scale of the “Anthropocene” and draws on an extensive body of material in literary and cultural criticism to exemplify it, including texts by Paule Marshall, Gary Snyder, Raymond Carver, Ben Okri, and Henry Lawson amongst others.
