Fuel: An Ecocritical History is the first book to chart our
changing attitudes to fuel and energy through the literature and
culture of the modern era, focusing on the 18th-century to the
present. Reading a wide range of writers from Blake, Austen and
Dickens to Upton Sinclair and Edward Abbey, Heidi Scott explores
how our move from a pre-industrial reliance on biomass and
elemental energy sources to our current dependence on the fossil
fuels of coal, oil and natural gas have fundamentally shaped human
identity and culture. The book's Anthropocene perspective reshapes
our view of energy history and climate change, and Fuel looks
forward to ways in which we can reimagine our culture away from the
fossil fuel paradigm towards a more sustainable energy future
driven by renewable, elemental energy.
