Energy, Ecocriticism, and Nineteenth-Century Fiction: Novel
Ecologies draws on energy concepts to revisit some of our favorite
books-Mansfield Park, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, and The War of
the Worlds-and the ways these shape our sense of ourselves as
ecological beings. Barri J. Gold regards the laws of thermodynamics
not solely as a set of physical principles, but also as a cultural
and conceptual form that we can use to reimagine our historically
vexed relationship to the natural world. Beginning with an
examination of the parallel inceptions of energy and ecology in the
mid-nineteenth century, this book considers the question of how we
may better read and interpret our world, developing a recipe for
experimental reading and insisting upon the importance of literary
studies in a world driving to ecological catastrophe.
