The ecological perspective constructed under Eco-criticism delineates the nature-human alliance in both detrimental and constructive ways. The present research paper tries to inspect some post-1900 modern English literature from an Ecocritical perspective. The literature reviewed in the present study incorporates the analysis of some well-known authorship whichever is eminently written to gain insights from the ecological frame of reference. Analyzing some notable works culminates in the conclusion that the trend of Ecocriticism progresses from ‘nature- a mystic substance ‘and ‘nature’s interconnectedness to action ‘importance of maintaining nature, ‘eco- consciousness and eco-literacy about environmental issues, and finally calls to action. Index Terms—Ecocriticism, Eco-consciousness, Ecological, Modern English Literature, Environmentalism I. INTRODUCTION English literature as global literature has followed multiple trends. The trends involved various socio-human issues, one of which is prominent, is the environment. Broadly, the multidisciplinary field of study known as ecocriticism examines the relationships between literature and the environment. In analyzing the distinctions between nature and its cultural creation, it draws on the works of natural scientists, authors, literary critics, anthropologists, and historians. (https://www.science.smith.edu/climatelit/ecocriticism/). It deals with the presentation and analysis of environmental concerns, environmental-related cultural issues, and attitudes toward nature. Studying how people behave and respond in their cultures toward the environment and ecological issues is one of ecocriticism's key goals. The rising social emphasis on environmental degradation and advancements in technology have drawn a lot of attention to this type of criticism in recent years. Thus, it offers a novel approach to reading and understanding literary works that expands the scope of literary and theoretical research. The environmental movement and the release of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962 sparked the emergence of ecocriticism, but it wasn't until the 1980s that it truly took off. Ecocriticism has so far come in two waves, the first in the 1980s and the second in the 1990s. The first wave focused on nature writing as a discipline of study and as a worthwhile activity. While upholding the separation between humans and nature, it also emphasized the worth of nature and the necessity of speaking out for it. The following wave extended the scope of environmentalism by building on the first. This wave of ecocritics attacked the differences between nature and non-nature, as well as between urban and natural environments, and redefined the term environment to encompass both. (https://www.coursehero.com/file/119437943/MODULE-29-ECOCRITICISM-Idocx/) By analyzing how the poorest and most disadvantaged segments of a community are most vulnerable to the negative consequences of climate change and environmental degradation, this wave also sparked the eco-justice movement. Pastoral, wilderness, and ecofeminism are all included in ecocriticism. Ecocriticism is a blend of literary criticism of ecological approaches or parameters used by the author in his/her work. Ecocriticism is a relatively new revisionist trend that has dominated humanity in recent decades (Oppermann, 2016). The trend can be prominently seen in early and late modern English literature through the works of various authors. Most early ecocritics praised 'nature writing', and promoted writers who attend to and extol the beauties of nonhuman species and creatures. When the environmental movement began to gather political force during the 1970s, ecological literary criticism grew into activism, and lead to the spread of eco-consciousness and awareness. Various texts in the modern era (post-1900) offered the changing trends in this manner (Westling, 2016). Romantic writers from the United Kingdom and America wrote about their ecological consciousness from three perspectives: living community, and basic ecological awareness of environmental conservation. They explain the true meaning of beauty in nature, define the beauty of harmony with nature, promote getting back in touch with nature and the beauty of people, and expose a natural road that leads to truth, goodness, and beauty for those who are seeking their  Corresponding Author ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 13, No. 3, pp. 783-788, March 2023 DOI: https://doi.org/10.17507/tpls.1303.28 © 2023 ACADEMY PUBLICATION
