Medieval Ecocriticisms Volume 1 : Special Issue: Weather

In recent years, medieval studies has seen a flourishing of new ecocritical and environmental inquiries to literature, art and culture.

These new approaches, drawing upon the material, spatial and post-human turns in humanities research, have directed scholarly attention to representations and histories of the non-human, and to the inarguable necessity of studying both human/human and human/non-human interactions in texts and cultures.

Medieval Ecocriticisms is the first regular venue dedicated to medieval ecocritical studies.

It seeks out the most current and innovative interdisciplinary approaches to the study of literature and the environment in the global Middle Ages.
