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 Environment,2946-3165European literatureLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern19th centuryEuropean LiteratureTwentieth-Century LiteratureNineteenth-Century LiteratureEuropean literature.Literature, ModernLiterature, ModernEuropean Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.820.9145Economides Louiseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062486BOOK9910255256203321The Ecology of Wonder in Romantic and Postmodern Literature2526075UNINA
