Ecocriticism these days is indeed a relatively new revisionist and reformist trend that has dominated the ecological point of view in recent English literature worldwide. The ecological perspective constructed under Eco-criticism delineates the nature-human alliance in both detrimental and constructive ways. The present research paper tries to inspect some post-1900 modern English literature from an Ecocritical perspective. The literature reviewed in the present study incorporates the analysis of some well-known authorship whichever is eminently written to gain insights from the ecological frame of reference. Analyzing some notable works culminates in the conclusion that the trend of Ecocriticism progresses from ‘nature- a mystic substance ‘and ‘nature’s interconnectedness to action ‘importance of maintaining nature, ‘eco-consciousness and eco-literacy about environmental issues, and finally calls to action.
This paper explores some gaps in the romanticism era using well-known authors. The paper aims to explore the decline of romantic elements in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Edgar Allen Poe’s The Black Cat. It provides some hints to foreground further studies on those writers using the approach of critical analysis to romantic works. In fact, this paper could be considered partially as a notes review to comprehend how those writers could be the cause of declining the romantic age and begin new different perspectives using their selected compositions. Although they are considered romantic authors, the paper shows somehow they are different from others. The conclusion draws the gaps in portraying the elements of romanticism.
