Literature and environmental studies, sometimes referred to as "ecocriticism" or "environmental criticism" to borrow a more general term from abstract feedback, is an interdisciplinary field that aims to study the ecological impacts of literature and other forms of new media from an ecologically conscious perspective. Ecocriticism is based on the belief that literary works have the power to inspire, motivate, and unite people in their environmental consciousness through their mastery of the expressive, narrative, and visual elements of language and art. Various forms of eco-corruption are a major problem facing Earth today, and this can help provide light on the nature of the problem. The ecological humanities as a whole, including ecocriticism, moral philosophy, religious studies, the arts, and humanistic geology, all agree that we should take the time to marvel at nature's wonders and give our subjective and quantitative attention to the growing number of environmental issues. Ecocriticism addresses this gap by critically examining existing literature and the contexts in which scholars engage in discussions, analyses, and textual formulations of environmental problems and challenges. This essay tries to delve further into the primary works of literary critics that are Eco critically overlapping in order to show that ecocriticism is a relatively recent field that has been heavily reflected in literature for a long time. Some of the American writers whose ecocritical work is traced in this article include D.H. Thoreau, Emerson, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Susan Fenimore Cooper, and many more.
