摘要：

This essay reviews the ecocritical approaches to Shakespeare that have emerged in recent years. The "green'' school of criticism can tell us new things about Shakespeare and about our present predicaments, but must also be treated as an intellectual phenomenon with a distinct role and history within the professionalization of literary criticism in academia. Exploring the unavoidable ethical implications of this professionalization, the article concludes that ecocriticism is ineluctably presentist and requires academics to change the ways they think and work.
