Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) provide a unique way of selecting a sample of actively star-forming galaxies independent of their brightness and at practically any redshift. I will review what we know about the hosts and more immediate environments of LGRBs from two different perspectives: ultraviolet absorption-line spectroscopy of the bright early afterglow, and observations of their hosts in emission once the afterglow has faded away.
