Beschreibungen
<span><span>Romantic Ecocriticism: Origins and Legacies</span><span> is unique due to its rare assemblage of essays, which has not appeared within an edited collection before. </span><span>Romantic Ecocriticism</span><span> 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 </span><span>Romantic</span><span>Ecocriticism</span><span> 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, </span><span>Romantic Ecocriticism</span><span> offers a dynamic collection of essays dedicated to links between scientists and literary figures interested in natural history.</span></span>
<span><span>Romantic Ecocriticism: Origins and Legacies</span><span> examines the influence of the science of the age upon a host of English and American authors. The collection of essays develops transhistorical and transnational perspectives to examine the invaluable place of Romantic literary studies as inspiration behind the rise of early environmentalism in the nineteenth century and its subsequent legacies. </span></span>
