Description

Marjorie Swann is Professor of English at Ottawa University. She is the author of Curiosities and Texts: The Culture of Collecting in Early Modern England and editor of a new critical edition of The Compleat Angler (Oxford University Press, 2014).

"Swann's Environment, Society, and The Complete Angler is well-researched and packed with valuable historical context. Moreover, it corrects a very long scholarly neglect of Walton's views of the relationship between God, nature, and humanity." -Kenneth H. Lokensgard Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture "One of the earliest and most popular precursors of nature writing in English has at last received the critical attention it deserves. Marjorie Swann's book is arguably the most complete study of The Compleat Angler ever written-and a vital corrective to outdated New Historicist interpretations. It makes an invaluable contribution to Walton studies and early modern ecocriticism." -Todd Andrew Borlik, author of Ecocriticism and Early Modern English Literature: Green Pastures
