英国对《生态批评读本》(1996年)的回答,《绿色研究读本》试图纠正美国人在早期的偏见,特别是对阿多诺的批评的根源的后殖民研究,这些任务是《读本》应该B它的编辑劳雷。第二部分”绿色理论”收集的文本包括哲学家、人类学家和政治理论家的摘录,而”绿色研究”主要指的是从事”所有研究中最根本的问题.“的文学和文化研究。人与非人之间的关系”(119)。正如库普在他的序言中所言,”绿色联系确实无处可停”(xi)可能是真的,但这本书更合适的标题可能是”环境人文学读者”或”绿色文化研究读者”,因为”绿色研究”(如本文所定义的)只是”环境研究”这一更大项目的一部分,新手很容易误认为是它的等价物。第三部分”绿色阅读”收集的文本说明了”绿色研究”的这种狭隘的关注点,因为它们从环境的角度提供了文学运动和公约的一般概述,并对具体作品或作品主体进行了生态批评阅读。就内容而言,像这样的选集有其固有的局限性,可以说,本书的读者可能会更好地服务于一个详细的书目文章,而不是50个简短的选择,每个只有大约4页长。在一般介绍和介绍每一本书的六个部分,跑车提供了什么可以被认为是这样一个文章的部分,编织在一起的主题,这些简短的摘录,并指出一些方式,其中文学,文化和环境相互作用,但体裁的介绍阻止他解决这些问题的深度,他显然是能够实现的。尽管有这些限制,绿色研究读者可能会作为一个有效的介绍陌生的作家和作品在生态批评,特别是对研究生和高年级本科生感兴趣的英语观点的主题。这本书还包括乔纳森·贝特的前言,简短的词汇表,书目-

While the texts collected in sec-tion two," Green Theory," include excerpts from a philosopher, anthropologist, and political theorist," green studies" refers essentially to literary and cultural studies that engage" the most fundamental question of all... that of the relationship between the hu-man and the nonhuman"(119). It may be true, as Coupe suggests in his preface, that" green connections really do stop nowhere"(xi), but a more fitting title for this collection might have been the" en-vironmental humanities reader" or the" green cultural studies reader," since" green studies"(as defined here) is only part of the larger project of" environmental studies," which the uninitiated could easily mistake for its equivalent. The texts collected in sec-tion three," Green Reading," illustrate this narrower focus of" green studies," as they offer general overviews of literary movements and conventions from an environmental perspective and ecocritical readings of specific works or bodies of work. In terms of content, an anthology such as this has inherent limitations, and it could be argued that the audience for this book might have been better served by a detailed bibliographical essay rather than by fifty short selections, each only about four pages long. In the gen-eral introduction and in the introduction to each of the book's six parts, Coupe provides what could be considered portions of such an essay, weaving together the themes of these brief excerpts and indicating some of the ways in which literature, culture, and environment interact, but the genre of the introduction prevents him from addressing these issues in the depth he is clearly capable of achieving. Despite these limitations, The Green Studies Reader will likely serve as an effective introduction to unfamiliar writers and works in ecocriticism, particularly for graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in an English perspective on the subject. The book also features a foreword by Jonathan Bate, a brief glossary, a bibliog-
