Transatlantic Literary Ecologies
Nature and Culture in the Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Atlantic World
Opening a dialogue between ecocriticism and transatlantic studies, this collection shows how the two fields inform, complement, and complicate each other. The editors situate the volume in its critical contexts by providing a detailed literary and historical overview of nineteenth-century transatlantic socio-environmental issues involving such topics as the contemporary fur and timber trades, colonialism and agricultural "improvement", literary discourses on conservation, and the consequences of industrial capitalism, urbanization, and urban environmental activism.
