About this book

The concept of 'wilderness' as a foundational idea for environmentalist thought has become the subject of vigorous debates. Myths of Wilderness in Contemporary Narratives offers a taxonomy of the forms that wilderness writing has taken in Australian and Canadian literature, re-emphasizing both country's origins as colonies.

Reviews

"Quite expansive and thought-provoking . . . Myths of Wilderness is a useful contribution to scholarship on wilderness writing." - Journal of Postcolonial Writing
