Introduction: Toward a theory of ecological criticism -- The art of environmental language: "I can't believe it isn't nature!" -- Romanticism and the environmental subject -- Imagining ecology without nature.

In 'Ecology Without Nature', Timothy Morton argues that the chief stumbling block to environmental thinking is the image of nature that most writers on the topic promote: they propose a new worldview, but their very zeal to preserve the natural world leads them away from the 'nature' they revere.
