The Origin-tracing of John Steinbeck's Ecological Concern
John Steinbeck,the Nobel Prize winner for Literature,has experienced ups and downs in the world literary arena due to the different evaluation of his works by the Chinese and western academic circles.However,since the rise of Eco-criticism in Europe and the United States in the 1970s,scholars at home and abroad have turned to study it,mostly to explore the ecological ideas in the works,but there are few systematic studies on the origin of the writer's ecological feelings.The research on the origin of Steinbeck's ecological concern is of great significance for readers to understand the writer's ecological thought in his works.
