Abstract

ABSTRACT At first sight, Mills & Boon romances may seem to bear little or no relation to environmentalism; however, critical comments about the negative impact of sun, sea and sand tourism are not uncommon in the pages of these novels. The tourism boom of the 1960s and 1970s led to increasing concern about its effects on the environment. Using a historical approach, I focus on several romance novels set in southern Europe, the area attracting the highest rate of visitors at that time and visibly suffering the consequences of unbridled construction. Some of the tools of econarratology and cognitive ecocriticism serve to provide further insights into the novels.

大众旅游、生态批评与米尔斯和布恩浪漫主义(1970 -1980年代)
乍一看,米尔斯和布恩的爱情故事似乎与环保主义几乎没有关系;然而,对阳光、海洋和沙滩旅游负面影响的批评在这些小说中并不少见。20世纪60年代和70年代的旅游业繁荣导致人们越来越关注其对环境的影响。用历史的方法,我把重点放在几本以南欧为背景的浪漫小说上,这个地区在当时吸引了最高的游客率,显然遭受了肆无忌惮的建设的后果。生态叙事学和认知生态批评的一些工具有助于进一步了解小说。

期刊介绍: Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism explores the relationship between literary, artistic and popular culture and the various conceptions of the environment articulated by scientific ecology, philosophy, sociology and literary and cultural theory. We publish academic articles that seek to illuminate divergences and convergences among representations and rhetorics of nature – understood as potentially including wild, rural, urban and virtual spaces – within the context of global environmental crisis.
