Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment-The Environmental Graphic Novel

The Environmental Graphic Novel examines the emerging genre of the environmental graphic novel, examining themes such as climate change through disaster, environmental justice, aesthetics, and melodrama. The Environmental Graphic Novel examines this emerging genre for its themes of climate change, disaster, and environmental justice. It underscores how the form encourages and sensitizes readers to ongoing environmental concerns from climate disaster to resistance and resilience. Assuming that the eco-apocalyptic is not the sole means of spotlighting climate disaster, this book argues that naturalist memoirs/biographies, disaster and post-disaster texts, and even fables are instrumental in re-animating and re-enchanting the world. The book is well suited to students and researchers interested in the graphic novel, ecological and environmental narratives, and environmental humanities as a whole.
