Synopsis

This collection of essays explores the deep connections between ecology, empire, and literary thought during the Victorian period. It argues that these domains were inseparable, challenging the methodological assumptions of both contemporary ecocriticism and broader literary and cultural studies. The book draws on a rich archive of 19th-century thinking to demonstrate its relevance for current theory and practice.
