Publication Date: | 2015 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17833 | Abstract: | Aemilia Lanyer's country house poem, "The Description of Cookham," offers a unique challenge for ecocritical analysis and raises the question: What method of reading best offers an ecological pathway through the poem's pastoral panegyric? In this chapter I argue that, while nature enters the poem as an empathetic topography of human loss and nostalgia, this figuring is a clever rhetorical strategy that is deeply ironic. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts: A Field Guide to Reading and Teaching, p. 99-108 | Publisher: | Ashgate Publishing | Place of Publication: | Farnham, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781472416735 9781472416759 9781472416742 9781472416728 |
