Applying ecocritical theory to the work of Victorian writers, this
collection explores what a diversity of ecocritical approaches can
offer students and scholars of Victorian literature, at the same
time that it critiques the general effectiveness of ecocritical
theory. Interdisciplinary in their approach, the essays take up
questions related to the nonhuman, botany, landscape, evolutionary
science, and religion. The contributors cast a wide net in terms of
genre, analyzing novels, poetry, periodical works, botanical
literature, life-writing, and essays. Focusing on a wide range of
canonical and noncanonical writers, including Charles Dickens, the
Brontes, John Ruskin, Christina Rossetti, Jane Webb Loudon, Anna
Sewell, and Richard Jefferies, Victorian Writers and the
Environment demonstrates the ways in which nineteenth-century
authors engaged not only with humans' interaction with the
environment during the Victorian period, but also how some authors
anticipated more recent attitudes toward the environment.
