Why is it important?

Nature, as it appears in literature, is important because texts inform us about our surroundings.

Perspectives

Reading texts closely helps us understand what we miss in nature as time flows. By reading texts closely from an ecocritical perspective, we learn how nature changes in time and to which direction.
