Abstract
Liz Jensen's novel The Rapture (2009) provides an opportunity to consider Wendy Wheeler's version of biosemiotics in The Whole Creature (2006) and Ursula Heise's advocacy of literary globalism in Sense of Place and Sense of Planet (2008). This essay examines both the kind of new insights they might provide to literary analysis and their respective places within the evolution of ecocriticism. Can such new theories help the reader decide whether this novel is just another apocalyptic thriller? Is The Rapture exploiting or explaining our environmental crisis?
