Summary

"Drawing on current political and socio-economical concerns, 'green criticism' acknowledges that attempts to understand our often conflicting reactions to the natural world reveal something about ourselves and perhaps also lift us out of ourselves. Such combinations of reaction are also to be found within late medieval English literature and it is these which form the focus of this book. Greenery offers new readings of middle English texts, both familiar and less familiar, which are informed by ecocriticism."--BOOK JACKET
