Many Romantic texts take flight from society and enact solitary white male encounters with a feminine nature. However, the symbolic landscapes of Romanticism were often radicalized by writers like Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, William Apess, George Copway, Mary Wollstonecraft, Lydia Maria Child, John Clare, and Henry Thoreau. These authors showed how the oppression of human beings and the exploitation of nature are the twin driving forces of capitalism and colonialism. In addition to spotlighting new kinds of environmental literature, this book also reinterprets familiar texts by figures like William Blake, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mary Shelley, William Wordsworth, and Walt Whitman, and it shows how these household figures were writing in conversation with their radical contemporaries.Literatures, Cultures, and the EnvironmentLiterature, Modern19th centuryLiteratureHistory and criticismCommunication in the environmental sciencesNineteenth-Century LiteratureLiterary HistoryEnvironmental CommunicationLiterature, Modern19th century.LiteratureHistory and criticism.Communication in the environmental sciences.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Literary History.Environmental Communication.810.9003820.9008Newman Lanceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1085075BOOK9910484703503321The Literary Heritage of the Environmental Justice Movement2851939UNINA
