This chapter provides a broad survey of the field of Irish literature and the environment, and challenges some of the ways in which the subject has been broached thus far. It argues that the exponential effects of the climate crisis are now being felt across the world in a manner that demands urgent critical intervention and innovation. How is Irish Studies reacting to the momentous ontological and epistemological crises ushered in by the Anthropocene epoch? As the chapters of this survey indicate, scholars working in the field of Irish Studies are increasingly using interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary tools to analyze Irish culture’s relationship to the environment. The chapter goes on to summarize the contents and contexts of the contributions to this volume.
