This publication is the first and the only survey of methods of ecocritical analysis in art history. It is an essential reading for anyone interested in understanding why ecocritical art history is a vital nexus for the discipline, and for the environmental humanities. The geographical and chronological range covered in twenty-three essays means this is a state-of-the-discipline snapshot like no other. The essays are framed by a series of editorial introductions that provide orientation within a disciplinary territory that is still in the state of flux, yet already complex. Illustrated in colour and black & white.
