Abstract

The article is devoted to reflection on the canon and required school reading from the perspective of ecocritical studies, with particular emphasis on the Pieśni Panny XII [The Song of the Virgin XII] by Jan Kochanowski. The author presents the most significant theoretical information on Polish achievements in the field of “environmental humanities” and the role of veganism and vegetarianism in the era of advancing climate change. The article also discusses the dangers of the anthropocentric way of perceiving reality. The author points out the necessity to use the achievements of “environmental humanities” in Polish literature lessons and shows examples of how to read school books through this methodology.
