Nature, Culture and Literature is one of the longest-standing series in the international environmental humanities. It provides a platform for the practice of ecocriticism in the broadest sense, understood as an issue-driven field of cultural enquiry comprising critical textual analysis and theorising on human/nature relations.

We seek publications approaching literature and other forms of text-based communication from an ecological standpoint, and welcome studies going beyond the Anglophone world (including European, but also African and Asian literatures), and cross-cultural comparative studies. The series is open to scholars working in green media studies, environmental history, philosophy, social and cultural theory, religious studies, art and cinema / TV.
The series publishes single-author monographs and thematically focused collections of essays, on writing and images across languages, cultures, and periods.

Individual volumes focus on a specific area of research. These can include:
・Examining the work of a single author / creator or the characteristics of the environmental imagination in a particular culture.
・Mapping one of the themes central to popular understandings of nature and exploring their creative reconfiguration (e.g. nature and national/regional identity, human/ animal relations, or climate change).
・Developing and illustrating a particular theoretical approach (for instance in energy humanities, environmental ethics, food studies, or econarratology / ecopoetics).

All volumes are peer reviewed.

Brill invites prospective authors to consider Open Access for books and chapters, but this is not a condition for being published. More information can be found at https://brill.com/page/bookoa/open-access-for-books-and-chapters.

Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals to the publisher at BRILL, Christa Stevens.
