Summary:Serenella Iovino and Serpil Oppermann’s brilliant collection, Material Ecocriticism, testifies to the fruitfulness and urgency of the critical perspective opened up by the particular reticulation of influences that characterizes the project of material ecocriticism. Although the essays consider a diverse array of phenomena, all of the essays are unified by their alignment with a specific constellation of critical perspectives, and the editors’ skillful arrangement of the chapters enables the essays to coalesce into something resembling a narrative. At the same time, this adept configuration of the material also allows room for differences of perspective and emphasis.
