One of the first studies to explore the relationship between environmental criticism and British modernism, Green Modernism explores the cultural function of nature in the modernist novel between 1900 and 1930. This theoretically engaged, historically informed book brings new materialist insights to novels by Conrad, Ford, Lawrence, and Butts.

"In Green Modernism, McCarthy offers various ethical models for the dialogic and equalizing relationship of humans and nature, from a fundamental recognition of nature's active and independent presence (object-oriented ontology), to a responsible and responsive working of the land, to the 'sustained intimacy' with the land he calls 'dwelling.' ... The project of turning modernism's gaze from the psyche and the city to the land is a valuable expansion of traditional criticism." (Mara Scanlon, English Literature in Transition, Vol. 60 (2), 2017)
