French 'Ecocritique': Reading Contemporary French Theory and Fiction Ecologically

‘Highly recommended.’

H. Freed-Thall, Choice Magazine vol 55:10:2018

"Posthumus’s book appears destined to become one of the most important resources for scholars interested in French ecological thought and fiction. It also promises to spark more interest in a field of study that has been relegated to the periphery in French and Francophone studies."

Keith Moser, Mississippi State University, The French Review

"…Posthumus’s goal is to provide (eco)critical points of convergence, and she does so with great attention to coherence and detail…The book will of course be a reference for scholars working in French ecocriticism, but should not be overlooked by ecocritics from other linguistic traditions…"

Pauline Goul, Vassar College, H-France Review Vol. 19, no 76

"The breadth and depth of Posthumus’s scholarship are impressive. In four meticulously organized chapters on French writers of fiction and theory, she addresses the concepts of subjectivity, dwelling, politics, and imaginings, while weaving a comparison between Anglo-American ecocriticism and a nascent French écocritique."

Jonathan Krell, Department of Romance Languages, University of Georgia

"French Écocritique offers an excellent -- and splendidly readable -- presentation of these important materials and debates."

Martin Crowley, Department of French, University of Cambridge
