MORRISON -- Chapter 14 Edward Carpenter, Henry Salt, and the animal limits of Victorian environments / By JED MAYER 330 $aApplying ecocritical theory to the work of Victorian writers, this collection explores what a diversity of ecocritical approaches can offer students and scholars of Victorian literature, at the same time that it critiques the general effectiveness of ecocritical theory. Interdisciplinary in their approach, the essays take up questions related to the nonhuman, botany, landscape, evolutionary science, and religion. The contributors cast a wide net in terms of genre, analyzing novels, poetry, periodical works, botanical literature, life-writing, and essays. Focusing on a wide range of canonical and noncanonical writers, including Charles Dickens, the Brontes, John Ruskin, Christina Rossetti, Jane Webb Loudon, Anna Sewell, and Richard Jefferies, Victorian Writers and the Environment demonstrates the ways in which nineteenth-century authors engaged not only with humans? interaction with the environment during the Victorian period, but also how some authors anticipated more recent attitudes toward the environment. 410 0$aAmong the Victorians and modernists. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEcocriticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aEnvironmental protection in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEcocriticism 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection in literature. 676 $a820.9/36 701 $aMazzeno$b Laurence W$0550460 701 $aMorrison$b Ronald D$0905149 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155128403321 996 $aVictorian writers and the environment$92024428 997 $aUNINA
