Most ecocritical scholarship tends to overshadow discussions of wonder with the sublime, failing to treat these two aesthetic categories as distinct. As a result, contemporary scholarship has conflated wonder and the sublime and ultimately lost the nuances that these two concepts conjure for readers and thinkers. Economides illuminates important differences between these aesthetics, particularly their negotiation of issues relevant to gender-based and environmental politics. In turn, readers can utilize the concept of wonder as an open-ended, non-violent framework in contrast to the ethos of domination that often surrounds the sublime.Literatures, Cultures, and the EnvironmentBritish literaturePostmodernism (Literature)Literature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—19th centuryBritish and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Postmodern Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/837000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Nineteenth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000British literature.Postmodernism (Literature).Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—19th century.British and Irish Literature.Postmodern Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.820.9145Economides Louiseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062486BOOK9910255256203321The Ecology of Wonder in Romantic and Postmodern Literature2526075UNINA
