Their depictions of biblical floods, fires, storms, droughts, and plagues reveal an unsettled relationship to the natural world, at once unchanging and bafflingly unpredictable. In \u003ci\u003eApocalyptic Ecologies\u003c\/i\u003e, Shannon Gayk traces representations of environmental calamities through medieval plays, sermons, and poetry such as \u003ci\u003eCleanness \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e. In premodern disaster writing, she recovers a vision of environmental flourishing that could inspire new forms of ecological care today: a truly apocalyptic sensibility capable of seeing in every ending, every emergency a new beginning waiting to emerge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shannon Gayk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226837611","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293817176201,"sku":"9780226837611","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e5180545-5d28-4d22-9c60-def0f858ddf4.jpg?v=1737443571","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/apocalyptic-ecologies-from-creation-to-doom-in-middle-english-literature-9780226837611","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
