Beskrivning
The earliest environmental criticism took its inspiration from the Romantic poets and their immersion in the natural world. Today the “romanticising” of nature has come to be viewed with suspicion. This open access book, written by one of the leading ecocritics writing today, rediscovers the importance of the European Romantic tradition to the ways that writers and critics engage with the environment in the Anthropocene era. Exploring the work of such poets as Wordsworth, Shelley and Clare, the book discovers a rich vein of Romantic ecomaterialism and brings these canonical poets into dialogue with contemporary American and Australian poets and artists. Kate Rigby demonstrates the ways in which Romantic ecopoetics responds to postcolonial challenges and environmental peril to offer a collaborative artistic practice for an era of human-non-human cohabitation and kinship.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollection.com.

Recensioner i media

Reclaiming Romanticism takes some risks in its approach, but invites trust from the reader thanks in part to Rigby’s clear, likeable style, which incorporates accounts of the author’s personal experiences. Ultimately Reclaiming Romanticism is able to bear the weight of its ambition because Rigby is in control of her wide range of material and knows when to temper her claims for what literature, and literary criticism, can achieve.
