This book brings together the themes of diet, consumption, the
body, and human relationships with the natural world, in a highly
original study of Shelley. A campaigning vegetarian and
proto-ecological thinker, Shelley may seem to us curiously modern,
but Morton offers an illuminatingly broad context for Shelley's
views in eighteenth-century social and political thought concerning
the relationships between humanity and nature. The book is at once
grounded in the revolutionary history of the period 1790-1820, and
informed by current theoretical issues and anthropological and
sociological approaches to literature. Morton provides challenging
new readings of much-debated poems, plays, and novels by both Percy
and Mary Shelley, as well as the first sustained interpretation of
Shelley's prose on diet. With its stimulating literary-historical
reassessment of questions about nature and culture, this study will
provoke fresh discussion about Shelley, Romanticism, and modernity.
