Reviews

In these analyses combining eco-criticism and eco-theology, Dale makes an original and exciting new contribution to the field.
*PARERGON*

Refreshing and original.
*MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW*

A pioneering contribution that is worth taking into account. . . . [It] deserves a prominent place in the library of any scholar intending to do research on these texts.
*MODERN PHILOLOGY*

Dale's ecocentric readings provide much food for thought and reveal the critic's discerning attentiveness to the rich and paradoxical qualities of the Old English poems themselves.
*SPECULUM*

Makes a strong case for the place of 'green studies' in Old English literature.
*TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT*
