This book tracks across history and cultures the ways in which
writers have imagined cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons,
collectively understood as "tropical weather." Historically,
literature has drawn upon the natural world for its store of
symbolic language and technical device, making use of violent
storms in the form of plot, drama, trope, and image in order to
highlight their relationship to the political, social, and
psychological realms of human affairs. Charting this relationship
through writers such as Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville, Gisele
Pineau, and other writers from places like Australia, Japan,
Mauritius, the Caribbean, and the Philippines, this ground-breaking
collection of essays illuminates the specificities of the ways
local, national, and regional communities have made sense and even
relied upon the literary to endure the devastation caused by deadly
tropical weather.
