The Belgian-French novelist Marguerite Yourcenar is a rare example of an established literary figure whose writing in French cries out for ecocritical attention. Discovering environmental pollution and destruction as an issue in the late 1950s, when she went to live in the USA, Yourcenar became an active supporter of conservationist and animal rights initiatives, and began to express her commitment to reconciliation between humans, non-human life and the inanimate environment in her fiction and critical essays on French literature. A fascination with pristine wilderness speaks from her last novel, published in 1982, whose protagonist relinquishes human individuality to become one with sublime nature.

La novelista franco belga Marguerite Yourcenar es un raro ejemplo de figura literaria de reconocido prestigio cuyos escritos en francés claman atención ecocrítica. Cuando emigró a Estados Unidos a finales de los años 1950 descubrió el problema de la contaminación y destrucción medioambiental y se convirtió en colaboradora activa en iniciativas conservacionistas y pro derechos de los animales. Comenzó a expresar su compromiso con la reconciliación entre los seres humanos, los seres vivos no humanos y el medioambiente inanimado en su literatura y en ensayos críticos sobre literatura francesa. De su última novela, publicada en 1982, en la que la protagonista abandona la individualidad humana para fundirse con la naturaleza sublime emana una fascinación con la prístina naturaleza salvaje.
