Provides an accessible introduction to the Environmental
Humanities, a complex and interdisciplinary area, and designed to
provide a foundation for future study, projects and pursuits.
Written by academics with experience of teaching and writing in the
field. Content is engaging and includes case studies, discussion
questions, annotated bibliographies, and links to online resources.
Organised by subject, this book could be used on general
environmental humanities courses, or individual chapters could be
used on subject specific courses i.e. Environmental History,
environmental film etc.
Romantic Ecocriticism: Origins and Legacies is unique due to its
rare assemblage of essays, which has not appeared within an edited
collection before. Romantic Ecocriticism is distinct because the
essays in the collection develop transnational and transhistorical
approaches to the proto-ecological early environmental aspects in
British and American Romanticism. First, the edition's
transnational approach is evident through transatlantic connections
such as, but are not limited to, comparisons among the following
writers: William Wordsworth, William Howitt, and Henry D. Thoreau;
John Clare and Aldo Leopold; Charles Darwin and Ralph W. Emerson.
Second, the transhistorical approach of Romantic Ecocriticism is
evident in connections among the following writers: William
Wordsworth and Emily Bronte; Thomas Malthus and George Gordon
Byron; James Hutton and Percy Shelley; Erasmus Darwin and Charlotte
Smith; Gilbert White and Dorothy Wordsworth among others. Thus,
Romantic Ecocriticism offers a dynamic collection of essays
dedicated to links between scientists and literary figures
interested in natural history.

This book is a thorough, eco-critical re-evaluation of Lord Byron
(1789-1824), claiming him as one of the most important ecological
poets in the British Romantic tradition. Using political ecology,
post-humanist theory, new materialism, and ecological science, the
book shows that Byron's major poems-Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, the
metaphysical dramas, and Don Juan-are deeply engaged with
developing a cultural ecology that could account for the
co-creative synergies in human and natural systems, and ground an
emancipatory ecopolitics and ecopoetics scaled to address
globalized human threats to socio-environmental thriving in the
post-Waterloo era. In counterpointing Byron's eco-cosmopolitanism
to the localist dwelling praxis advocated by Romantic Lake poets,
Byron's Nature seeks to enlarge our understanding of the
extraordinary range, depth, and importance of Romanticism's inquiry
into the meaning of nature and our ethical relation to it.
