The relationship of literature and environment is as old as that of man and literature. Perhaps the very first poem that stroke to human mind was inspired by the blooming flowers, chirping birds or the music of the waterfalls. The Bible without the “Eden Garden” and the Ramayana without the “Ashok Vatika” are never complete. Traces of nature and environment are found in all forms of literary genre- poetry, drama and fiction, in one way or the other. Earlier to Romantic age which is the golden period for the presentation of ecological aspects as in the poems of Wordsworth, Keats, Walden, Whitman, Thoreau etc., we can trace nature even in the plays of Shakespeare and the stories of Chaucer. Even literary criticism is not untouched by it. Environmental concerns have been the subject of literature since times immemorial.
