The existence of ISLE reflects the rapid growth of ecological literary criticism and environmental scholarship in related disciplines in the United States and around the world in recent years, which in turn reflects the steady increase in the production of environmental literature over the past several decades and the increased visibility of such writing in college classrooms. ISLE seeks to encourage such scholarship, writing, and teaching, while facilitating the development of a theoretical foundation for these activities. It also seeks to bridge the gaps between scholars, artists, students, and the public.

ISLE is the official journal of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE). It receives financial support from ASLE, from subscription fees, and from the Center for Environmental Arts and Humanities at the University of Nevada, Reno. Editorial Offices are located at the Department of English/0098, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV 89557-0098. The journal is published in cooperation with the University of Nevada Press.

ISLE is indexed in the following publications: American Humanities Index and MLA International Bibliography.
