At this critical juncture in which the biodiversity of planet Earth appears to be shrinking fast and furiously, Louis Kirk McAuley invites us to consider the ways in which particular unruly natures, including animals, plants and minerals, actively intervene in literature to decentre the human. Drawing upon invasion biology, McAuley offers transformative ecocritical interpretations of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British and American literature and highlights the heterarchical nature of empire building. This includes analyses of texts composed by (or about) persons residing at, or just outside, the edges of the British and American Empires, including St Kitts and Nevis, Haiti, Cuba, Hawaii and Samoa, which were built around the global transfer of animals and plants. Offering biotic readings of this literature, McAuley highlights the human place in nature and provides practical literary examples of the ways oceans facilitate the confusion of time and place.

In Print Technology in Scotland and America Louis Kirk McAuley investigatesthe mediation of popular-political culturein Scotland and America, from thetransatlantic religious revivals known as theGreat Awakening to the U.S. presidentialelection of 1800. By focusing on Scotlandand America—and, in particular, thetension between unity and fragmentationthat characterizes eighteenth-centuryScottish and American literature andculture—Print Technology aims to increaseour understanding of how tensions withinthese corresponding political and culturalarenas altered the meaning of printas an instrument of empire and nationbuilding. McAuley reveals how seeminglydisparate events, including journalism andliterary forgery, were instrumental andinnovative deployments of print not as a liberation technology (as Habermas’s analysis of print''s structural transformation of the public sphere suggests), but as a mediator of political tensions.
