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. 410 0$aLiteratures, Cultures, and the Environment,$x2946-3165 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 676 $a820.9145 700 $aEconomides$b Louise$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062486 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255256203321 996 $aThe Ecology of Wonder in Romantic and Postmodern Literature$92526075 997 $aUNINA
