Postscript

　　本书主要采用解构主义对中心和权威颠覆和消解的批评策略和新批评的细读技巧，挖掘、阐释美国作家亨利.大卫.梭罗的主要作品《在康科德与梅里马克河上的一周》、《瓦尔登湖》、《缅因森林》、《科德角》、《论公民的不服从》、《马萨诸塞州的奴隶制》、《没有原则的生活》、《为约翰.布朗请命》、《约翰.布朗的殉难》、《约翰.布朗的最后日子》、《马萨诸塞的自然史》、《冬季散步》、《心灵散步》、《梭罗日记》中体现的生态意蕴。本书还借助心理学批评、传记批评、福柯的权力与话语理论，系统、全面地分析、诠释梭罗生态思想的成因及内涵。　　本书梳理、探讨了生态批评理论，把美国作家亨利.大卫.梭罗(1817－1862)放在生态批评的理论框架中，联系目前生态危机日益严重的现实语境，全面考察其生态思想的来源，系统而深入地透视、阐释其散文作品中体现的生态意蕴。丰富了梭罗思想研究，提供了生态批评实践的成功范例，为高校文学专业师生、文学研究者及爱好者提供生态批评理论与实践的重要参考。【作者简介】　　陈茂林，河南南阳人，南开大学英语语言文学博士，杭州师范大学外国语学院副教授，硕士生导师，研究方向为英美文学。近年来主要致力于生态批评理论与实践研究，发表系列研究论文多篇，主持或参与省部级、厅局级科研项目多项。
