“…Ecocriticism is referred to as the nature or style of writing. William Wordsworth was found to be an ardent supporter of the ecocriticism writing style (Adamson & Slovic, 2009). The style was untouched when William Wordsworth also known as the poet of nature touched this field of writing style.…”

“…The main concern about this first wave was the usage of metaphors and smileys which were used in balanced structural techniques to adjudge the main insecurities (Adamson & Slovic, 2009). William Wordsworth started that style of writing and achieve major style annotations in this field of study.…”

“…These narratives that balance between known facts and an imaginary future are intended as a warning about possible real life developments. They seem to offer two outcomes: the extinction of population as a result of human activities and people's inability to reconcile the urge for economic growth and progress with the need to protect the biosphere (1), and a possibility of survival should humanity manage to curb its destructive impulses and change its attitude towards nature (2). Ballard's latest quadrilogy [Cocaine Nights (1996), Super-Cannes (2000), Millennium People (2003) and Kingdom Come (2006)] created on the foundations of ecoapocalypse displayed in his urban catastrophe novels, not only points to different types of urban violence as the next level of degradation humanity has reached while heading toward its extinction -thus befitting the category of what ecocritics are now referring to 'eco-collapse fiction' (see McFarland, 2021) -but also to the emergence of new social forms as a result of ecological crisis and eco-apocalypse and as such to avoid the trap of being trivialised and labelled as is so common in environmental fiction that they lose their ability to inspire fear or activism.…”

While Garrard proposes an ecocriticism that is deeply aware of human subjectivity and ideological bias, Joni Adamson and Scott Slovic stress the need for research to focus more on comparative and transnational connections between culture and the environment, which implies a more activist approach (Adamson and Slovic 2009). Developments that are more recent include a consideration of the Anthropocene and other framing models such as the Chthulucene (Haraway 2016).…”
