"From New Orleans to New York, from London to Paris to Venice, many of the world's great cities were built on wetlands and swamps. Cities and Wetlands is the first book to explore the literary and cultural histories of these cities and their relationships to their environments and buried histories. Developing a ground-breaking new mode of psychoanalytic ecology and surveying a wide range of major cities in North America and Europe, ecocritic and activist Rod Giblett shows how the wetland origins of these cities haunt their later literature and culture and might prompt us to reconsider the relationship between human culture and the environment. Cities covered include: Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Hamburg, London, New Orleans, New York, Paris, St. Petersburg, Toronto, Venice and Washington. "--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Swamps and marshes have traditionally been regarded as places of horror and ill health in western culture - places to be feared, drained and filled. In this wide-ranging study, Rod Giblett examines the swamp from a cross-disciplinary standpoint. Using material from fiction, films and popular culture and drawing on literature, cultural studies, philosophy, social theory, critical geography and medical history, he criticises the urge to drain swamps ('the project of modernity') as masculinist and imperialist.

"Following in the footsteps of Traces of an Active and Contemplative Life 1983-2013, published by Common Ground in 2013, which brought together previously published and unpublished articles written over the past 30 years, Odds and Ends of a Writing Life: 2014-2019 brings together some previously published articles and unpublished papers written over the past six years. This recent work addresses many of the same concerns and follows many of the same lines pursued in Traces, such as place, people, past, present and future. It does so across a range of genres, including autobiography, book reviews, an invective inauguration poem, a satirical essay on the uncanny Trumpster, a lexicon entry on symbiosis and the symbiocene, an eco-cultural essay on wetlands and ecocritical essays on Thoreau. It brings them together in a multi-faceted and fascinating collection"--
