Biography
Terry Gifford is currently Visiting Research Fellow at Bath Spa University’s Research Centre for Environmental Humanities and Professor Honorifico at the University of Alicante, Spain. He is the author of Pastoral (2020), Green Voices (2011) and Reconnecting With John Muir (2006). He has written or edited seven books on Ted Hughes, most recently Ted Hughes in Context (2018), and published seven ecofeminist essays on D. H. Lawrence.
"Terry Gifford has most inventively shed a radical new creative light on the Lawrentian oeuvre, one which draws with imagination, energy and insight on both recent feminist and ecocritical theory to create a study which opens up original and fertile new ways of interpreting this central twentieth-century oeuvre."
--Roger Ebbatson, Lancaster University
“D. H. Lawrence, Ecofeminism and Nature is the first distinctly theoretically-informed ecocritical book to discuss the integration of nature and gender in fresh close readings of Lawrence’s works across multiple genres… writings such as Apocalypse, among many others cited in this considered and impassioned study, attest to Gifford’s call for the broader recognition of Lawrence as a significant and prescient voice in twentieth-century thought on ecology and reaffirms the ethical importance of his writing.”
--Annalise Grice, Nottingham Trent University
“Gifford provides a panoramic view of Lawrence’s oeuvre through 14 compact chapters, moving freely between the different genres Lawrence engaged in, from poetry to novels, short stories and non-fiction, presenting them thematically rather than chronologically. [A] nuanced and insightful analysis.”
--Julia Kuznetski (née Tofantšuk), Tallinn University, Estonia
