Ecological Form brings together leading voices in
nineteenth-century ecocriticism to suture the lingering divide
between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches. Together, these
essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage
problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain
our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in
light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate "natural" questions
with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a
means for generating environmental-and therefore
political-knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel
to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond,
Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers
conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking
Britain to its global network. Yet the book's most pressing
argument is that this past thought can be a resource for
reimagining the present.
