British Romanticism, Climate Change, and the Anthropocene: Writing Tambora de David Higgins

British Romanticism, Climate Change, and the Anthropocene: Writing Tambora

Autor David Higgins
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2017
This book is the first major ecocritical study of the relationship between British Romanticism and climate change. It analyses a wide range of texts – by authors including Lord Byron, William Cobbett, Sir Stamford Raffles, Mary Shelley, and Percy Shelley – in relation to the global crisis produced by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. By connecting these texts to current debates in the environmental humanities, it reveals the value of a historicized approach to the Anthropocene. British Romanticism, Climate Change, and the Anthropocene examines how Romantic texts affirm the human capacity to shape and make sense of a world with which we are profoundly entangled and at the same time represent our humiliation by powerful elemental forces that we do not fully comprehend. It will appeal not only to scholars of British Romanticism, but to anyone interested in the relationship between culture and climate change.

Recenzii

“Marking Time: Romanticism and Evolution, provides a perceptive contribution to the scholarship linking Romanticism to the study of natural philosophy and natural history, especially evolution. The volume features leading researchers, many of whom have written significant monographs in the past.” (Dewey W. Hall, European Romantic Review, Vol. 30 (1), 2019)

Caracteristici

First major literary-critical study of the relationship between climate change and British Romanticism Challenges the critical tendency to understand Romantic nature writing as largely apolitical and concerned with individual and local experience Looks at many of the key Romantic figures: the Shelleys, Byron and Coleridge Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
