摘要：自工業革命以來，物質文明得到極速發展，但隨之而來的環境問題也越來越嚴重。特別在當今社會，環境問題已成為一個威脅人類生存發展的重大問題，迫切需要得到解決。在這種社會背景下，文學領域也掀起了一場生態批評之風。

 Revelation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s
 Eco-consciousness in the Secret Garden
 
 Abstract
 
 The central task of this paper is to explore how nature is described by Frances Hodgson Burnet and what her ecological attitude toward nature contains in her work—The Secret Garden. Through this study, we hope to gain a view of Burnett’s eco-consciousness from an eco-critical perspective and a better understanding of Burnett who concerns more about the harmony, mutual benefit and equality between man and nature rather than man’s mastery over other forms of life. It begins with a primary study of the eco-critical theory and then turns to the analysis of several representative characters to reveal the ecological theme in this novel. The literary analyses of this paper all centers on the relationship between man and nature.

 Key words: The Secret Garden; eco-consciousness; relationship between man and nature
