Summary/Abstract: Based on comparative research on ecocriticism and geopoetics ( Kenneth White) astwo theoretical discourses concerning the relationship between literature andenvironment, the aim of this paper is to explore the connection between literary landscapes and their psychological foundation. Ecocriticism, as a dynamic,complex, and sometimes inconsistent system of thinking about nature and literature, can be enriched byWhite’s geopoetics, which has not only a theoretical butalso an important practical dimension. A question of landscape in art is viewed,through these theoretical positions, as one of the crucial moments for personaland collective human self-identification in environment.
