Eco Lit

Does eco-criticism always need to be so serious? Not according to Oscar Wilde, who manages to cultivate some levity in this earnest literary field. In this episode, we “Bunbury” our way through country, city, summer, and a Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Texts discussed in this episode: The Country and the City (Raymond Williams) The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde) Music credit: 'Planets' by Gustav Holst Sound excerpt: 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (LibriVox: https://librivox.org/the-importance-of-being-earnest-version-3-by-oscar-wilde/)
