Who coined the term ecocriticism?

William Rueckert coined the term in his 1978 essay 'Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism'. It was later institutionalised by Cheryll Glotfelty through The Ecocriticism Reader (1996).

What is Timothy Morton's concept of dark ecology?

Dark ecology embraces the strange, uncanny, and troubling aspects of ecological reality rather than idealising Nature as pristine. Morton argues that genuine ecological thinking must confront the ambiguous 'mesh' of all life.
