Eco- Criticism

(A presented in theory and procedure)

Abstract

This research seeks to provide a theoretical grounding for one of the modern critical approaches known as Eco-criticism, which is considered a new intellectual branch that emerged in the late twentieth century in European and American literatures i‏in particular. The study begins by diagnosing the relationship between literature and the environment, and by examining the key issues that have disrupted the human-environment relationship, creating discord and hostility between them after being an example of unity and harmony. It also explores how this relationship is represented in literary texts, outlining the key concepts it is based on, and revealing the analytical methods used to search for the underlying and hidden environmental patterns around the aesthetic beauty of literary texts.
