Ecocriticism

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I primarily study both Geography and English, Ecocriticism is a melding of the two which can impact environmental issues through effective transmission. The article was informative and provided significant ecocritical figures and links for further research. The article isn't up to date and could do with some environmental perspectives outside of the western sphere of thinking.

Evaluate the article
Content:

The article on Ecocrticism is fairly comprehensive and alludes to a variety of renowned Western ecocritical minds while simultaneously defining the genres importance. Although there is adequate Western reference the Ecocriticism article lacks diversity regarding multicultural perspectives. There also exists a temporal gap within the article content which leaves opportunity for improvement through including modern ecocritical content. The most important modern inclusion that I can conceive of is the concept of writing after nature; otherwise defined as writing concerned with the human perception of control over nature. Unfortunately I can not recall where I read about the concept or who to credit for it. Overall the article would benefit from some updating to the covered material bringing it up to a more present state which reflects the global nature of society.
