Summary/Abstract: Ecocriticism has gained footing in the last decade, though it still fights for credibility. Is it not time to acknowledge a need for an ecologically conscious literary criticism? Will new fields like ecofeminismism and economics soon emerge in response to climate change and global warming? This paper touches on the central issues and problems within the movement.
