Sophie's Current Research Questions


  1. I'm working on reading The Handmaid's Tale through an ecocritical lens and showing that Atwood's goal is to warn of the dangers of climate change. I am also considering integrating a more ecofeminist perspective by incorporating works by seventeenth century English poets. 
  2. Three research questions: 
    1. What is the best way to find newspaper sources (specifically from Canada in the 1980s)?
    2. Where should I look for classic/general ecocritical essays so I can learn about how others have used ecocriticism? 
    3. What are the best general historical sources that can help me understand the context of when Atwood was writing? 
Thank you!
