Description
Book SynopsisUncovers alternative ways of seeing the environment from the Romantic period.
Trade Review"Romantic Environmental Sensibility: Nature, Class and Empire offers a boldly revisionary reading of environmental texts from the British Romantic period. The essays in this collection are profoundly concerned with questions of environmental justice and social class as manifested in the work of English aristocrats and working-class writers and in the perspectives of colonial overlords and local inhabitants throughout the British Empire. This book makes a vitally important contribution to the emerging discipline of ecocriticism." -James C. McKusick, University of Missouri-Kansas City, author of Green Writing: Romanticism and Ecology and coeditor of Literature and Nature: Four Centuries of Nature Writing.
