This paper aims at presenting an ecocritical study of the short story A Sunrise on the Veld (1951) by the Nobel Laureate British writer Doris Lessing with an ecopsychological orientation. In her story, Lessing depicts a fifteen-year-old boy’s gradual change from an exaggerated sense of anthropocentrism to his eco-consciousness about human and non-human coexistence. The sole human character in Lessing’s story realizes that he is not the center of the universe but only a part of the biological chain. This eco-realization marks the sunrise of the boy’s new self-awareness which accompanies the sunrise on the veld. This paper discusses A Sunrise on the Veld as a profound example of the ecocritical literature with its deep ecopsychological concern represented by the interrelationship between the human and the ecological world.
