Recenzii
“A welcome teaching tool for the undergraduate course in eighteenth-century studies—if you want to integrate environmental studies into your class but don’t know where to begin, start here.”
“A field-defining collection, Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities demonstrates how the emergent methodologies of the environmental humanities illuminate and are in turn enriched by the study of eighteenth-century history and cultural production.”
"This innovative collection brilliantly addresses the challenge of studying and teaching the eighteenth century from an Anthropocene vantage. The wide-ranging essays explore the meaning of environmental justice for eighteenth-century writers reckoning with the socio-ecological violence of transatlantic empire."
“A provocative and compelling case for centering the eighteenth century within environmental humanities. This interdisciplinary collection of essays will be of great interest and lasting value to literary scholars and teachers, and it will serve as a touchstone for all future work at the intersections of eighteenth-century studies and the environmental humanities.”
“Bringing together eleven tightly argued essays in a cohesive, innovative, and approachable volume, Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities embodies the deeply generative possibilities of envisioning how the fields of eighteenth-century studies and the environmental humanities can mutually inform, enrich, and interrogate each other.”
Descriere
This groundbreaking interdisciplinary collection demonstrates how eighteenth-century studies can be taught through the lens of the environmental humanities. Activating topics such as climate change, new materialisms, the blue humanities, indigeneity and decoloniality, and green utopianism to interpret eighteenth-century literature and culture, each essay includes recommendations for innovative teaching and learning.
