Romantic Sustainability is a collection of sixteen essays that
examine the British Romantic era in ecocritical terms. Written by
scholars from five continents, this international collection
addresses the works of traditional Romantic writers such as John
Keats, Percy Shelley, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and Samuel
Coleridge but also delves into ecocritical topics related to
authors added to the canon more recently, such as Elizabeth
Inchbald and John Clare. The essays examine geological formations,
clouds, and landscapes as well as the posthuman and the monstrous.
The essays are grouped into rough categories that start with
inspiration and the imagination before moving to the varied types
of consumption associated with human interaction with the natural
world. Subsequent essays in the volume focus on environmental
destruction, monstrous creations, and apocalypse. The common theme
is sustainability, as each contributor examines Romantic ideas that
intersect with ecocriticism and relates literary works to questions
about race, gender, religion, and identity.
Through an examination of her complete works and public response to
them, Robertson gauges the extent of Inchbald's reputation as the
dignified Mrs Inchbald, as well as providing a clear sense of what
it meant to be a female Romantic writer.
Explores the connections between British and American Romanticism,
focusing on the novels of Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821) and
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-64). This study argues that Inchbald and
Hawthorne are representative of a larger British/American cultural
confluence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
