Paperback. Condición: Good. Since publication of the first edition more than twenty years ago, The Come dy of Survival has been credited as the founding work in the field of liter ary ecology, the study of relationships between the literary arts and scien tific ecology. Here, Joseph Meeker expands upon his consideration of comedy and tragedy, not as dramatic motifs for humor and sadness but rather as fo rms of adaptive behavior in the natural world that either promote our survi val (comedy) or estrange us from other life forms (tragedy). In this third major edition of his classic work, Meeker examines the role o f literature in shaping such behavior. Drawing upon centuries of western wr iting from Dante to Shakespeare to E. O. Wilson, he demonstrates the univer sality of comedy in both human and animal behavior and shows how the comic mode helps us to live in harmony with nature. Meeker then defines the tragi c view of life, interweaving that behavior with exploitation of the environ ment. With imagination and flair, the author also introduces the idea of a play ethic, as opposed to a work ethic, and demonstrates the importance of play as a necessary and desirable component of the comic spirit. Within a growing body of environmental literature dealing with spirituality, ethics, ecofeminism, nature writing, and alternative lifestyles, Meeker's is a one-of-a-kind book, combining elements of literary criticism, ethology, New Age thinking, and personal narrative. Full of provocative twists and turns, The Comedy of Survival is a book for literary critics, environmentalists, human ecologists, philosophers, and anthropologists. Many will find much to ponder in this.
